Google-chrome – Google Hangouts can no longer be resized in Chrome on the desktop PC

google-chromegoogle-hangouts

A few weeks ago I was able to resize the Google Hangouts window, but now (and for the last couple of weeks) when I hover my cursor over the bottom or side of the Hangouts window it no longer changes to a resize-type cursor.

The chat window is now very skinny and shows very little history at once, making it frustrating to read.

Can anyone explain whether this was an intentional change, or whether it might be fixable somehow?

I found a discussion here regarding this issue. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/hangouts/yL0povr6kR0/QcpwH5oMOG0J

In my environment (Win 7 SP1, Chrome 34.0.1847.137 m, Hangouts extension 2014.507.433.1)
I can resize the hangout window only when I hover the cursor on the TOP-side / TOP-RIGHT-corner / TOP-LEFT-corner of the window.
