Bug Description

Besides the new "resize window icon" interfering with the buddyicon...

After not using the new icon to resize (use top/left/right border or any of the other 3 corners) when using it again, it arbitrarily resizes the window as soon as the icon is clicked. Almost as if the window manager looses track of the window size.

Video shows it all.

This may be a gtk or some other under-lying element's issue, as I have noticed the behavior on other applications; however, it is by far most noticeable in Pidgin. Applications such as Firefox do exhibit the behavior; however, they only resize by a few pixels (barely noticeable), not hundreds of pixels like with Pidgin.
