Cannot resize windows after some time

After some time, I am not able to resize windows (CSD windows can be resized!) or using alt + tab anymore or using the alt button to move or resize windows. A reboot does not solve this, my only workaround for this is deleting ~/.config/{dconf,gconf,xfce4}. Then when I restart the session and configure it the way I want to, everything works. But then after watching a video for an hour, the behavior reappears. (Although I do not know if it has something to do with the full screen watch, maybe only waiting causes this).

The behavior when I try to resize: When the cursor hovers over window borders, it changes into the resizing styles but when I click and drag, nothing happens. Maximizing and dragging the windows to screen edges work as expected.

I also tried starting xfwm4 with all available options, nothing worked.

I hope the attached infos are enough, if not pleas ask.

Thank you
