I don't see this on my systems. The resize arrow behaves exactly like in other GUI applications, as far as the size of the region where it appears is concerned, and it doesn't disappear, no matter how long I leave it there, nor flickers while in that area. > Also, I don't think it's normal that as soon as you have actually grabbed > the border successfully the pointer changes back to the normal, single > arrow.

Well, in that case, please provide a minimal setup to reproduce the problem. My crystal ball is obviously not powerful enough to guess.
