hyperactive resizing with CSD

[Allin Cottrell <cottrell wfu edu>]

Hello all,

I'm running on Xfce (both current ARCH and Fedora 22 variants) a 
number of applications that are linked against GTK 3.16 and employ 
CSD. (Their home base is gnome.)

For the most part these applications work OK (earlier "teething" 
problems such as doubled title bars having been resolved) but I'm 
seeing a remaining problem that's very annoying: these apps (evince 
is my paradigm case, but probably just because I use it much more 
than the others) want to resize themselves at the drop of a hat.

If I go into evince with the mouse -- aiming to move the program by 
its title bar, to click a button, to click a "twisty" to navigate 
the left-hand contents pane, or to select some text -- some high 
percentage of the time it goes into "resize-me" mode: any further 
mouse motion resizes the window, until I click somewhere, being very 
careful to avoid any motion in the click.

No other applications on my system behave in this way, only GTK 3.16 
CSD ones. Other windows go into resizing mode only if I deliberately 
grab and drag a portion of the window frame. Is there any way to 
overcome this?
