Extremely difficult to move chrome window because of a lack of a title bar

Reported by daniel3...@gmail.com, Jul 31 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.115 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1 - Open enough tabs to fill the tab bar.

2 - Try to move the window -- a 10 pixel high space to grab the window exists, requiring precision mouse pointer placement, and resulting in frequent mis-dragging of tabs.

What is the expected behavior?
To be able to drag a window easily by having a big enough target to click on without making mouse micro-movements.

What went wrong?
The UI was redesigned at some stage and the amount of space to click in when dragging the window was reduced.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.115  Channel: n/a
OS Version: OS X 10.12.0
Flash Version: 

This is a major accessibility issue for people who have limited dexterity and hand-eye coordination.

Tested on Chrome Stable #60.0.3112.78 on Mac 10.12.6 and able to reproduce the mentioned behavior. It is also reproduced on the latest Canary #62.0.3173.0.

This is a non-regression issue and able to reproduce from M-45 #45.0.2454.85. Marking it as untriaged so that issue gets addressed.

Note: UI of the tab bar is different in Windows and Linux.

Thanks.

I think this is working as intended, although the regression to accessibility is unfortunate. 

+ shrike in case he has different thoughts.
I think the space was reduced by 3pts - not a huge amount, but I too find it can take precision positioning of the mouse to move the window. That said, the New Tab button is always present in the tabstrip, and there is a lot of space above it for grabbing the window.
