I'm encountering an issue in Ubuntu 24.04 where certain applications such as Firefox use the top bar as the title bar. Whenever I accidentally touch the top bar and drag, it resizes the window, which can be quite frustrating.

Previously, in Ubuntu 22.04, I didn't experience this level of responsiveness. I'd like to know how to address this issue by either:

  1. Disabling the functionality where touching the top bar resizes the window (I prefer using the minimize button to minimize windows).
  2. Adjusting the sensitivity to make it less responsive.

Actually, it's not even necessary to drag anything: if you just open a folder, for example, and just left click once on the top bar then it resizes the window!

I was also struggling with this behaviour, and found disabling the Enhanced Tiling option to work for me.

easy actually just turn off enhanced tailing off in settings... very annoying feature!

Seems like a misunderstanding here. The advanced tiling off fix didn't work for me, but I found the setting under multitasking->active screen edges set to off.

This should do until they invent the "don't do stupid stuff" toggle :-)

Using the 24.04 one here, this accidental resizing was fixed in the new update.

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

will fix the problem here if you want to keep the tiling feature.
