Unfortunately this will not be fixed in the stable release. It's easy to fix but it makes the desktop look really bad.

This problems affects a number of themes: marking as duplicate of #160311

In Linux Mint 9, to work around the problem, do the following:

- Right-click on the desktop
- Select "Change Desktop Background"
- Go to the "Theme" tab
- Press the "Customize" button
- Go to the "Window border" tab
- Select "Shiki-Colors-Easy-Metacity"

This alternative window border theme isn't as nice looking, but it comes with a thicker border, making it easier to resize windows.

Another alternative is to resize them directly with the mouse, without using the border. To do this, press "Alt" on the keyboard while pressing the middle click on the mouse to resize the window.
