Gnome 3.10.1 window resize "stucks"

Hi,

for about 3 days now, resizing windows works strange for me with Gnome 3.10.1.

How it worked before: keep Alt + mouse middle click pressed over a window, move mouse -> resize window as long as Alt + mouse click is hold
How it works now:  keep Alt + mouse middle click pressed, move mouse -> resize window even if the shortcut is released, until mouse left button is clicked

This disturbs heavily my daily common work habits and I'm not sure if that's an "improvement" (expected behaviour) or a bug. If that's meant to be a feature, is there a known way to get back to the previous behaviour?

thanks,
K

Thanks.

edit:  You know what, never mind.  I think I missed the 't' in "stucks".   I guess I misinterpreted what may be just a strained bit of English grammar to be an indication that Gnome creates a weak localized vacuum.

I confirm this strange behavior in 3.10.1: hopefully it's not a "feature"

This new behaviour is driving me nuts as well . Hopefully there will be an update soon...

Re: Gnome 3.10.1 window resize "stucks"

Would it be possible to apply the patch at the Gnome Bugzilla to the Arch package of mutter maybe? It's *really* annoying as it is at the moment..
