On my Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.3 I can't resize a window below the top of the dock. That is, I can't drag (resize) the lower right corner of the window below the top of the dock. However, I can resize below the top of the dock on my iMac at work (also running OS X 10.6.3). Note that I can drag the whole window such that the bottom goes below the dock.
Is there a setting to control this?

I have an external monitor connected to the iMac. The monitor's display goes below that of the iMac's. Thus it appears that OS X doesn't limit the downward resizing of windows.

I fixed it by restarting my dock. Open the Terminal app and type killall Dock.
I think it's the dock getting into a bugged state; running this command restarts it and makes the dock behave correctly.

Go to Dock Preferences in System Preferences, just to be sure compare the two Macs' preferences.
It's most likely "Automatically hide and show the dock" checkbox.

Preferences are the same between the two machines. – Wavy Crab – 2010-05-27T17:12:54.930
