Can't drag maximized window from top when using vertical tabs #51554

Description

When vertical tabs are enabled and Brave is maximized, it's impossible to drag the window from the top. The cursor turns into a resize cursor, and you have to aim a bit lower to grab the window and resize it.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Enable vertical tabs (with or without title bar, it doesn't matter)
  2. Maximize Brave
  3. Try to drag the window from the top

Actual result

Recording.2025-12-18.104052.mp4

Expected result

It should be possible to grab the window like on horizontal tabs.

Reproduces how often

Easily reproduced

Brave version (brave://version info)

1.85.117 Chromium: 143.0.7499.146 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Channel information

  • release (stable)
  • beta
  • nightly

Reproducibility

  • with Brave Shields disabled
  • with Brave Rewards disabled
  • in the latest version of Chrome

Miscellaneous information

It happens both on Windows and Linux (on Linux it's even more annoying, because the resize cursor creates a "dead zone" in the top right corner, making it harder to close Brave: I have to aim for the close button).
