      I'm testing Opera 24 Developer on Ubuntu 14 (Trusty) in Unity (standard). Compared to other applications it's a bit tricky to grab the resize handle on the Opera window. There seems to be only 1 px where the mouse cursor changes to the resize icon so that I can resize the window.

      The issue is even more noticeable if I want to resize the window top to bottom (making it smaller from top to bottom). There seems to be no area at the title-bar but somewhere at the upper corners beside the tabs. But this area seems to be really small. It works with shortcut keys (activating Window-Menu - going to resise window, using the keyboard to resize).

      I doubt that it's an issue with the Window Manager and Unity because other applications have a wider area where the mouse-event (changing the icon to resize) is fired. Some apps like the file manager allow that nearly for the whole area of the title bar.

        I'll concur with this. It is very difficult to resize the Opera 24 window. It's hard to catch the border with the mouse. I'm using 24.0.1555.0.

          Start opera with
          opera-developer --force-native-window-frame=true
          The grab area will be decided by whatever gtk theme your using.

            Nice. Thanks. Resizing the window is now better. The window looks a bit different. The Opera Menu is now always at the level of the tabs, which is OK for me.

              Why not use the native (unity) shortcuts:

              ALT middleclick - resize window

              ALT leftclick - move window

                I never knew the middleclick thing. 😉

                The last 2 versions of O25 has a better integration with Unity (with Unity menus). An you don't need this command parameter anymore. Resize handle is working out-of-the-box.
