Hi all,

On windows, surface.setResizable(true) has no effect whatsoever when the sketch runs in P2D or P3D mode. In the default mode, everything runs as expected.

Are there any known solutions?

thanks! -t

(and here’s a little example below for quick copy-paste-testing purposes)

```auto
void setup() {
  size(200, 200, P2D);
  surface.setResizable(true);
}

void draw() {
  background(204);
  line(0, 0, width, height);
  line(width, 0, 0, height); 
}

```

It is resizeable, but the mouse pointer don’t change to the “resize pointer” (arrow thing). And also you have to hit the window just _outside_ the border (or exactly on the border too, I think). Not inside of it. Except on the title bar, there it is just below the top border.

Tested it just now on Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit, in both P2D and P3D mode.

EDIT: Oh, and welcome to the forum! 🙂

Thank you!! Both for your correct answer and for your warm welcome.

No problem. You providing a small code snippet to test made all the difference!
