In Karmic alpha 3 this bug is still present.

As Ronan wrote in comment #2 it is not a Nautilus problem only. For example gedit is also affected.

In addition to my comment #13: I think, when the button is released while resizing a window, first the window gets redrawn for the last time AND AFTER THAT the mouse coordinates are read to determine where the resize area shall be, and after clipping this area to its usual region it disappears completely.

With a mouse most people will first stop moving before releasing the button and won't see the problem. And on systems with fast cpu/graphics the error will only be a few pixels. But on older Laptops with touchpads the problem is quite obvious. But because the symptom nearly seems random, many users might think their touchpads or movements are just too unprecise.

IMHO this bug would perfectly fit as one of the "One Hundred Paper Cuts", especially because one target of Karmic is to maximize usability on Netbooks.
