Jarno,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Chromium since that time.

This issue was fixed in 2016, see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=318937 but comments there suggest that there might still be an issue with Xfce.

I've tested here using Xubuntu 18.04 and Chromium 69. The issue is fixed for me but is it for you?

I'm marking this as "Incomplete" pending changing to "Fix Released".

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Like told in comment
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=318937#c65
it only works, if I have set "use the system title bar and borders" in chrome / chromium settings.

This is only an issue if "use the system title bar and borders" is not set in Chromium settings

Tested with Ubuntu 18.04, Chromium 69 and xfwm 4.12.4-0ubuntu1

Is that with "system title bars and borders" ?

Because if Chromium is set to use its own decorations, then xfwm4 has no idea what's the actual window content as opposed to the decorations that it doesn't draw... So that's normal.

Client side decorations and "click inside application" do not mix well.
