  1. Problem
    On Mate desktop edition, user can only resize any window by moving cursor to top corner or title bar area. It has been 1 year since it happened after package upgrade.
  2. How to fix (from comment of Linux Mint forum by user all41, URL is bellow)
I can verify and duplicate this issue with Window Managers:
Marco, Marco+Compton, MetaCity, and MetaCity+Compton will not allow resizing.
Marco+Compositing, MetaCity+Compositing, and Compiz allow resizing normally.

So it is a bug or feature in mate or marco
3. How to do it

  • Open mate-tweak by terminal or GUI or anything you like
  • Select tab Windows, in Window manager select Marco (Adaptive compositor). It worked on my PC, Nvidia gtx 960

p/s: Parrot is NOT only distro has this issue. The URL above is a proof. Parrot might have it sooner because we are Debian testing based distro so our packages are updated sooner than stable distro like ubuntu or mint
