I found a blackbox specific workaround; I specified a keyboard shortcut with
bbkeys to maximize a window using the following line in ~/.bbkeysrc

KeyToGrab(F1), WithModifier(Control), WithAction(MaximizeWindow)

For some reason, using this works on the window even though mouse resizing
doesn't.

Thanks for the tip.

And for this one.
