GUI elements bugs

Hello, am I the only one who can't resize GUI elements? (button, text field) When you try to change the size of the RMB, the “move” mode is disabled and the size of the button or text field does not change.

Hi, necro-ing this thread, because I'm using 2024.4, and I have not been able to resize any GUI elements with a Right-Click. It just moves the element every time.
Left-click to "grab" the element, immediately right-click to attempt resize, drag mouse and the element moves instead. Just use right-click to "grab", move mouse and the element moves too, does not resize. So I'm confused as to how this works.

EDIT:
Wow! I figured it out, but it was not obvious. If anyone else is doing what I was doing, you're in the WRONG place.

Over on the RIGHT side of the screen is a component list, highlight the item you want to Resize.

In the Top Left Corner is a MOVE icon (plus sign with arrowheads), Left-Click.

NOW Right-click, you'll see the BAR on the RIGHT is now movable. Where you stop dragging, the box will then resize once you let go of the click.

 

Most people are probably used to doing all their edits right inside the workspace, and don't use the component list for anything, (and you really don't need to except to actually resize things and change the layer order. However, if you're building things, for lack of a better term, correctly to begin with, you aren't changing the layer order either, so this might have been a mystery too).
