Bug report: window resize vertically from title bar

Browser Support Desktop Support

Description of the issue:
Browser window cannot be maximized vertically from the title bar by moving the mouse over the border of the top of the window. The mouse no longer changes to a bi-directional arrow, and doesn’t allow you to drag the top of the window to the top of the screen.

  1. Open Brave browser on Windows 10 (current version 22H2, OS Build 19045.4291) so it’s not maximized.
  2. Move mouse to the top border of the brave window
  3. Note that the mouse icon does not turn into a bi-directional arrow, and does not allow you to resize the window by dragging the top border up or down.

Expected result:
The mouse icon should change from an arrow into a 2-sided arrow when over the top border of the brave browser window.

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.65.114 Chromium: 124.0.6367.60 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Information:

  • Windows 10, 22H2 19045.4291 (current version a/o 4/24 patch tuesday)
  • title bar arrow feature continues to work on other windows including notepad and Edge browser.
  • issue persists after reboot of windows computer

@russeault,
Thank you for reaching out.
Strange issue — I understand that the cursor doesn’t change to the bi-directional when grabbing he horizontal part of the top bar — however, does the arrow change to the diagonal bi-directional arrow when you grab the corner of the window?

Hi, thanks for the response!
Yes, you can still grab the corners and the sides of the window to resize
Regards, Russ

I also have this issue.
No problem before transitioning from Windows 10 to 11.

I’m still on W10 and have this issue. This only appeared recently, literally just over the past few days/week for me.

Hi folks - the fix for this has been released today :slightly_smiling_face: Special thanks to @zenparsing for the fix (see https://github.com/brave/brave-core/pull/23176).

Today’s release of Brave (release channel) has version 1.65.122. If you’re on an older version, please check for updates! The fix has also been merged to Nightly and Beta.
