Depending on how tall or short you make the window, MMP will maintain the correct window width so that the aspect ratio of the window continues to match the aspect ratio of the video.
For this reason, you can't grab the sides of the window to alter the width: the width is calculated automatically based on how you alter the window height.

The video progress bar along the bottom edge of the window actually makes it easier to grab the bottom edge and the bottom left and right corners, rather than the top edge and the top left and right corners.
