Is this a bug? For example, if I have a vertical split of two windows as the left child of a horizontal split, I can't mouse-resize the divider of the horizontal split from within the nested vertical split, but I can resize it from the single window on the other side. This should be made clearer by the following diagram where `O` designates where I'm clicking: +-------------------------+-----------------------+ | | | | +---------------------+ | | | | | | | | | This doesn't-->O | | O<--This works | | | | | | | +---------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | +---------------------+ | | | | | +-------------------------+-----------------------+Tue, 17 Sep 2013 05:15:32 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/2540/mouse-resizing-across-container-boundaries/Comment by Michael for <p>Whenever I have a set of windows in a container, I can't resize them with mod-right-dragging near the border, though it works for the single window next to the container.
