Dear Maintainer,

Resizing a window with the mouse makes window moving around. See in
demonstration-video:

Additional Information:


This happens only, when i'm a user.
Change to root with sudo, the behaviour in the same terminal stops.
Back to user with exit, the whole window moves again on resizing it.

Regards

Jakob

This bug was gone for a long time, but seems to have reappeared
recently. Also see these upstream PRs:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1447
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1461

I notice that the Debian changelog claims to have fixed this: Mutter
3.38.1-2 lists "Fix resizing issues (LP: #1878293)" and 3.38.1-3 lists
"When resizing terminals interactively, don't offset the position" in
the update to 3.38.1-33-g067af969c.

However, the problem is still there both in 3.38.1-2 and in 3.38.1-3.
