XFCE, Compiz - Cannot drag from top ~4px of fullscreen window

Post by nathanfranke »

I have used XFCE with Compiz several times now and I have always encountered this issue. This is my second time installing Linux Mint, and the problem has occurred again.

I posted it on many different forums with no help:
- https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=54015#p54015
- https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comment ... om_top_of/
- https://askubuntu.com/questions/1123076 ... w-from-top

System Info:

Code: Select all

OS: Linuxmint 20 ulyana
Kernel: x86_64 Linux 5.4.0-40-generic
GeForce GTX 960, Nvidia driver 440

Desktop Environment: Xfce
Window Manager: Compiz
WM Theme: Mint-Y-Dark-Blue (Reproducible with all themes. I tried removing the margins to no avail)
Thanks in advance for the help!

Compiz has always been, and AFAIK still is, nothing but a gilded train wreck. I advise to remove it.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove compiz-core

As it seems to be a Compiz issue, why not try the Compiz forum?
