gnome3, while again trying to copy apple shortcomings as if it is the holy grail, made windows opened as modal from other windows un-resizable for no reason at all. and un-movable, because why would anyone ever want to read what was behind without closing the window, right? Modal child windows remain a fixed size and when you move it, it moves the parent window along.
This makes it impossible to use things like the gnome disk manager, where you MUST resize the benchmark window to be able to see anything in the graph. or you must resize the window to be able to read the table text in the smart monitoring report.
I've already searched for a extension (as this is the normal flow of using gnome nowadays. They break something, some good person have to go and write an extension to make things exactly as before, everyone has to waste time searching for the workarounds...), and found nothing.
Here is an example of a window that I cannot resize or move on gnome 3.16+ the columns were never resizable, I don't know why. but I was always able to resize that window until gnome 3.16.
