Description
In the default JavaDoc display I can no longer resize a frame by grabbing
a border and dragging it.

This appears to be related to the recent change to use iframes instead
of old-style framesets (JDK-8074521).

Comments
Frames are going away

Just because we may choose to either generate docs without any frames, or choose to use a presentation in which frames are not the default, does not mean that all others will so choose. I think this should stay open as P4, pending an investigation into how hard a (JavaScript) fix would be.

As of JDK 9 Javadoc will be generated without frames by default, since we now have a search box to help navigate, along with various other improvements (see JDK-8167977). In that light I would not object to this bug being closed WNF.
