Why is my window resizing in the wrong direction?

Somehow, I've screwed up window resizing in Ubuntu (14.04).

When I grab the top, right or left edge of a window with my mouse, everything works fine.

But when I grab the bottom of the window, then when I move my mouse up, the edge of the window goes down, and vice versa. It's very annoying and I have no idea how I got into that state.

How did I get into this state and what can I do to fix it?

Running Ubuntu 14.04 with a somewhat customized Unity config, the problem was solved by running CCSM, finding the 'Window Management' section, disabling 'Resize Window', and then re-enabling 'Resize Window'.

CCSM can be installed using:

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

See Unable to resize windows for screenshots of CCSM and the setting you need to find.
