Hi,

I am not sure of the behavior on Windows, but suggest that it maybe a
matter of practice, or fine tuning your mouse settings

Place the mouse in the frame, a hand should appear

Move the mouse/hand down to the frame border, note there are 8 red
squares on the frame.

Move the mouse along the frame border, note how the hand changes when
it hits one of the red square markers

Note that using the mouse is good for rough placement, just press F2,
and work on the xyz properties for precise placement
