I have the same problem here on my Xubuntu Precise Pangolin.
It was already present running Xubuntu Oneiric.
The only application that shows this is LibreOffice (didn't try OpenOffice)
and it only happens with the Xfce desktop (I tested KDE and Gnome Shell
and the bug didn't appear there).
The LibreOffice writer window only resizes correctly when dragging its right edge
or the bottom right corner.
