[Lazarus] Resizing components

[Ajeandro Gonzalo]

Just like in Delphi, resizing forms using the touchpad on my Win 7 64bit laptop is easy.  But unlike in Delphi, resizing components (like DBGrid)is impossible with the touchpad, the double-headed arrow won't stay put - I have to manually enter the size into the Object Inspector.

Why can't the same method be used to resize components as for forms?
