"Some windows don't resize, which is why the resize option is greyed
out. "

It is recognised that manufacturers and designers may choose to present
a window a particular way - for example the first window on the live cd
which asks if you would like to test drive or install.

In 10.01 to 11.11 there has been a standard option of using F8 and edge
dragging to maximise. This may be on no value to some users - but to
people who need to maximise window and to assist with focus and workflow
- addressing many people wit neurodiverse disabilities - it has been
there as "Reasonable Adjustment".

That has now been removed - and so a basic step in accessibility has
been  removed.

"Most windows do still allow resizing and I kind of prefer things to
allow resizing, but it is fine for some applications to decide that they
will just create a window the right size."

It is not the windows choice as to it's size or if it can even be
resized! It is a human who has made that decision.

Because it affects accessibility, I am repeatedly told that  it is an
issue/bug for the accessibility team - and yet then It appears to be
SEP.

If it is not a matter that falls under the Purview - Responsibility -
Remit of accessibility, then which team or app - program - snippet of
code does it come under and then It can be linked to the right place.

Still no response that addresses the removal of Resizable Cursor!

Is that for Accessibility Team  ( as I am told ) or is it yet another
team - app - code writer that needs to be alerted, and how do you file a
bug against code that does not work, because it apparently has been
removed in full from 12.04?
