It doesn't "move", it does what it thinks it's best. At least on most Linux you can move windows with Alt+mouse from any part of the window, and can move it disregarding screen boundaries: a boon when using magnification or big fonts and the UI is designed by an idiot so that Apply - OK- Cancel are below the screen bottom.

"The UI gets out of the way". "The user sees more of his content".
If it's all the cost of moving more functions into the main window caption, it's not an improvement.

The old one was really falling apart. Turns out the new one is made from some bizarre stretchy material that looks like leather but stretches up to two inches from its original length. I find it annoying because I would use the "cool, I'm on to the next notch on the belt" to measure my slimming down around the middle. Now with this stretchy belt, there's no fixed reference. And a scale is not a good measure of slimming down in the middle because much of the slimming down is the result of exercise and building muscle.
So, that's the big news in my world, lol.

Maybe if you add some cooling mechanism it would not stretch that much anymore

Stay away from any that claim to be "Top Grain". They have an extremely thin bit of leather glued to some artificial material.
The leather peels away in no time at all.

So the belt tells you "Cool down, don't worry about that next notch!". If it makes you relax, maybe that is beneficial to your health in a different manner!
One of my true leather belts has a rubber band section spliced in, so it behaves in a manner similar to yours. It was included with a pair of pants I bought for party occasions. So, where I previously had to loosen my belt after having eaten and drunk much more than what is healthy for me, this belt feels just slightly tighter, I don't really have to loosen it up.
The answer to your problem is quite simple: Buy yourself a new true leather belt! What does it cost? Not a fortune, I'd think. Not in your part of the world. I was shocked when I bought my last true leather belt over here: It sure was a sturdy one, but it cost me the equivalent of about USD 100! I guess you could find one for the fraction of the price in your area.

Grizzly goes in for knee surgery today - which means we'll have a 2 plus weeks with the "cone of shame" when he comes home. Clunk - bang - whack. Plus weeks of trying to get him to take his pills. In the past we've tried wrapping them in soft dog food, gravy, pill pockets, peanut butter.... he spits them all out. We end up having to force them into a mouth that clamps shut firmly.
In my younger days I would have never spent this much on dog repair -- now I'm an old softie and didn't think twice about the bill.

Good luck to Grizzly and to you all!

Hope your dog doesn't feel much pain, and can tolerate it.

My Scottie was attacked by another bigger dog and his leg was bitten and torn up pretty badly.
He too had to wear the cone which he fought continuously. As to the pills, he liked pudding a lot, so we'd give it to him like that and then hold his mouth shut until he swallowed the pill.
Good luck and I hope he gets better.

Try burying the pills inside a frankfurter - some dogs will gulp that down so quickly they don't get a chance to notice the foreign object.

That worked once - then he wouldn't take a hot dog.

What does your dog think it is? A cat?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

a super easy full proof way of opening a dogs closed mouth is to insert your thumb and index finger in opposite sides of the mouth at the far back of the mouth opening. press in gently and the mouth automatically opens. Once I learned this trick, I have never had a single issue.
then I just force the pill to the very back of the throat, so they can't spit it out, and are force to swallow.
I am sure you figured all this out already on your own, just felt like mentioning.
cheers.

Good luck Grizzly
In the past I never had any difficulty with pills - wrap in cheese and mine would have your arm off to get them
In fact, just getting the cheese out of the fridge triggered such excitement!

Our dog RJ had knee surgery and the accompanying cone of shame just before new years. Two months on the leash was hard, especially during winter. However she is as good as new now, we have been very pleased with the results. I hope Grizzly has the same results!
Good luck to you and Grizzly!

Good luck to you. I had about 6 weeks of my cat wearing the cone of shame this year. Surgery, followed up by more surgery to get rid of the infection. Then followed up by more infection and having to leave an open wound to heal from the inside out. I also never imagined spending this much on an animal, but here I am. We had to give morning and evening pills to a cat, that is a real adventure. It requires pinning them down and forcing their mouth open. Then hold it closed till they swallow.

I don't think I could stick my fingers in a combative cat's mouth!

Ham, a thin slice, wrap the pill, dogs tend to swallow whole, worked like a charm for me. Best of luck with your pup.
