UI component resize/drag and drop often get mixed up
Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but with the latest IntelliJ IDEA EAP I often try and resize a UI component, but end up dragging and dropping it somewhere else.
Here's a screenshot of what I mean, there is no visual indication (besides the tiny mouse pointer), to where the resizing starts and the moving begins. The region to resize is also quite small.
I think it would be better if there was an option (or by default) to make the entire grab region the resize (like it used to be), and instead use a UI element to drag and drop the UI component, here is an example:
There is also a bug where if you click in the middle or drag too fast it will begin resizing and moving the UI component at the same time, causing very buggy behaviour, but I will submit a bug report for that.
Thank you.

Set to 26 the ide.new.tool.window.resize.area.height registry option:
To open Registry dialog, use Help | Find Action and type Registry.
Thanks, that worked. Why is it set so low by default?
