   I have some words for the developers who decided that it was completely reasonable to expect a user to be able to precisely hit a single pixel to be able to resize a window.

   I've seen this on both Windows and Linux. 🤦♂️

     @wdormann I even opened a ticket for too-narrow grabbable window edges on the Linux side. The response I got was "we're not changing that, there's a workaround -- hold down the ALT key and right click when you're dragging near that edge". So now I have to remember which OS I'm on every time I need to do this. It's just so ... unnecessary.

     @tilton @wdormann This is peak UI design. Easy to grab window borders, an uncluttered title bar, buttons that look like buttons, and an easy-to-understand resize point in the previously wasted space in the lower right corner where the scroll bars meet. Everything is so unambiguous that you could easily walk an elderly (grand)parent through using it over the phone.

     @wdormann Bring back window borders and fat scrollbars, cowards!
