Bug#425412: metacity: Can't resize window by dragging border when its top is out of screen

Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.14.5-4
Severity: normal

When you move e.g. a gnome-terminal with it's top out of the screen
(e.g. by dragging with ALT) and then try to resize the window by
dragging the border (either one of the (bottom) corners or one of the 3
remaining visible sides), resizing does not work. Instead, the
ALT-SPACE menu pops up.

The same behaviour also appears in Ubuntu's 2.18.2-0ubuntu1.1 version of
the package.

This is really annoying if you use large windows, like I often do.
