Bug

Description

extend_border_grab_area only works when a window is floating. If the window is tiled, this option seems to be ignored

How to reproduce

1. Set:

general {
    resize_on_border = true
    extend_border_grab_area = 10000
}

2. Add some tiled windows
3. Try resize on the border of one of those windows
4. You'll notice that there is no extended grab area
5. Now make one of the tiles float
6. You'll notice that you can pretty much resize anywhere outside of window since the grab area is so far extended

Crash reports, logs, images, videos

Happy to add a recording on request but figured it's simple enough to replicate.

pretty sure it goes to the end of the node, so the middle of the tiled windows

@vaxerski should this be closed?

@MightyPlaza can you elaborate no what you mean by this? I'm seeing the same behavior as described in the issue, where extend_border_grab_area does nothing if my windows are tiled, but works if they are floating.

[MightyPlaza]

if you remove all borders, and gaps the window would occupy the full node, this is the area you have for resize on border the extent doesn't apply here

[PatrickShaw]

@MightyPlaza Ah, thank you for explaining how extend_border_grab_area is meant to work.

@cypresslf In case it's of any help: I believe the intended purpose of extend_border_grab_area is to only allow the "grab" in areas that do not overlap with the window.

Could we add an option to extend the grab area over windows?

I prefer very narrow visual borders but doing so becomes fairly impractical to resize - Particularly if you're using a touchpad

how do you propose that would be done? you would be unable to interact in the main window in the extended region

If you have this in your config:

bindm = $mainMod, mouse:273, resizewindow

You can resize tiled windows while holding mainMod and the right mouse button even when they're tiled.

Should it be closed?
