Create a vertical split between two terminal panes
Hover over the bar between panes
When you see the resize mouse cursor appear, click and hold the mouse
Drag the mouse left or right
Expected: The border moves with the mouse cursor to wherever you want in the window as long as the mouse remains held. When releasing the mouse, the panes are now split at that location
Actual: The border does not move at all. You can only move a few pixels before the border is released, and the border stays exactly where it started.
What appears to be happening is that the border is dropped as soon as the focus is on a terminal pane instead of the border, and the border's location is not updated until after the mouse cursor's location is updated. As long as you move the mouse very slowly one pixel at a time, the border location can be updated with its center directly below the mouse, thus keeping the mouse within the confines of the border region, so the focus stays on the border. But this is not a reasonable speed to move the mouse. It's insanely slow and actually difficult to get it right without slipping out of the region by accident. If you move the mouse at a normal speed, the border's location is not updated fast enough to prevent the mouse from leaving the border region, thus immediately dropping hold of the border.
