[Bug 1098258] [NEW] browser popup resize closes immediately

[Bill Greene]

Public bug reported:

this happens in both firefox and chrome so it appears to be a system rather than an app problem. If i go to http://www.stern.de/kultur/humor/cartoons/galerie/1_gerhard-haderer/633437.html and click on Vergrossern, the cartoon pops up in larger format in a new window. In windows, I can resize this window. In ubuntu, when I move the cursor to an edge to get the resizing icon and then left down to grab the side, the popup window disappears. Tried it several times and happens each time.
Ubuntu is definitely the best on the market bar none. Superb piece of work
Regards, Bill
