Afaik the 1px "edge grab area" was a deliberate design decision. Guess 
the developer who came up with that decision has a 9billion dpi mouse a 
pretty steady hand and too much time. Users have been quite vocal about 
this and it even made a shortlist with GNOME 3 annoyances. Last I read 
they are trying to fix it so with a little luck and patience we should 
see it in F16.

Another one of those "fine" decisions is that the Delete key to erm 
delete a file in e.g. Nautilus no longer works. Instead you need to use
Ctrl+Del. If you want to change that have a look at the Arch wiki which 
is full of excellent information how to slap some sense into GNOME 3:
