Cannot resize windows at lower right corner?

I'm running 12.04 inside VMWare Workstation.

What is wrong with my installation so that I cannot resize the window at the lower right corner? The lower left does work, albeit it's really hard to get it; upper left/right works OK, see this video:

Just to make it clear: this is not restricted to terminal, same with Firefox, synaptic, etc.

I have exactly the same issue, also running Ubuntu 12.04 in a VMware virtual machine. It's the same using VMware Fusion and VMware ESXi. It is also extremely difficult to grab any window edge, for example, to stretch the window horizontally or vertically.

The only solution I have found so far is to use the shortcut of holding down ALT and using the third button (usually middle) on the mouse if you have one. This will allow the window to be resized while the pointer is within that window's boundary, bypassing the need to grab the lower-right corner.
