Hi. Its easier to demonstrate than to explain: https://www.screencast.com/t/IhWrGNwt

As you can see, when I move right edge of the window, left edge stays firmly in place as it should. But when I move the left edge - the right edge shakes a lot. Native windows do not shake like that. I mean I expect content to shake due to stretching/resizing, thats ok. But it would be nice if window's border did not move on its own in the process.

I guess this is not a major issue by any means, but it does not look pretty.

Hello,

Yes that is annoying but unfortunately I don't think it's anything we have control over.  It's WPF trying to catch up to the layout change of the window.  Since our window chrome is drawn completely in WPF, you do get that effect. 

Microsoft has announced that Creators Update has done a lot of work on smoothing out window resizing so that may possibly help.  See the "Smooth Window Resize" portion of this post for details that:
