Description
Dragging one edge of a window to resize it sometimes makes the other edge follow along with it, having the net effect of moving the window rather than resizing it. (Well, mostly. You can see in the video that it does end up slightly wider than before.)
This only happens inconsistently, I haven't figured out exactly what causes it.

Start by reproducing the intermittent behavior described in the issue and compare mouse resizing against the attached video. Trace the window-manager handling for dragging a single edge; done means resizing one edge no longer causes the opposite edge to follow or the window to move.
