From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Issue for GTK to make their window decorarions clickable at the corner (gitlab.gnome.org)

On Windows, KDE Plasma, and likely many other Desktops, if a window is ~~fullscreen~~ maximized and you push the mouse to the top edge and click, it will close.

Chrome-ium actually fixed that in their builtin buttons to work the same.

Not on GNOME because there is a panel at the top, lol.

But also not when using GTK apps on these desktops, where it should work. Instead you need a lot of precision, for no reason.

An easy fix would be to expand the actual clickbox further, not only around the (oversized) close button circle, but to the edge of the ~~screen~~ window.

This would make Thunderbird, Firefox, etc. closable likel any other normal app. ;D

If you support this, leave a like on the issue. And lets hope this doesnt get closed because of whatever...

Edit

This is about maximized, not fullscreen windows. But also about those.

And the request is to expand the clickbox to the corner of the window, not of the screen.
