The bug is definitely in metacity, not in the theme. The grabbable border should be thick REGARDLESS of whether the visible border is thick or not. Visible border should be set according to aesthetic/design criteria, while width of grabbable border should be according to usability criteria and should not affect the appearence in any way.

Btw this WAS fixed some version ago (I can't remember if it was in Lucid or earlier): I used to have 1px visible border with a much thicker grabbable invisible border. At some point it got broken, This is a regression.

I remember I read somewhere that the fix was disabled "temporarily" for some reason, like it interfered with some other bug or had some side effect. I can't find where I read this.

I'm astonished to see it's not fixed in Precise. How long does it take? How can the imortance be still undecided? This is critical.
