Resize not working for some apps

Since updating to Fedora 41 I noticed that some apps have a resize problem.
The app will start but be in a smallish window. When moving the mouse the sides or corners of the window the cursor does not change into a “resize” cursor. Also, when there is a window beneath it and click on the sides or corner to try and resize the app, the app window will go beneath the window that was previously beneath it.

I have noticed this with these two apps:

Both these apps used to resize without any problems but have started to show this problem in the last weeks.

I believe this is a result of greater sensitivity in the mouse position.

I see similar in that it sometimes takes a couple tries to get the icon to change to the indication for resizing the window and if you click when the icon is still a pointer and not the “resize” icon then it will act as you describe.

I thought so as well, however, even when I very carefully move the mouse cursor, the cursor will remain a pointer and not change. I also found that when my mouse cursor is at the location where I would expect the cursor to change (clearly inside the window) and I do a long press, I get the “display” menu, the same menu when I would do a long press on the background.

I have this problem now on both my desktop and my laptop, both running FC-41

The second app mentioned is an Electron app, and by the looks of it probably the first one too.

There are several reports with Electron apps having issues after upgrading to GNOME/Mutter 47.

Does this fix help?

As mentioned in the reply you linked, I added MUTTER_FRAMES_PLATFORM_LIBRARY=none to /etc/environment and logged out and back in. No change.

I do see though that when I the mouse cursor is inside the tuta window, the cursor seems to get smaller and looks older, a bit like a mouse cursor from the 90’s. This is regardless of the MUTTER_FRAMES_PLATFORM_LIBRARY setting.

Not sure if it is related, but when I use the AppImage that tuta.com supplies, there is no problem with resizing and the mouse cursor looks normal. <snip unrelated text>

Being a global env variable, I would say a reboot is required. Might not be the fix you’re looking for though.

I restarted my PC this morning and sadly, no change.
When checking my env variables I see MUTTER_FRAMES_PLATFORM_LIBRARY=none. So it does not seem to help.
