[Bug 393272] [NEW] Moving a window does not work as expected.

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

1] A window will not snap off the bottom screen edge without disabling
wobbly windows by holding the Shift key. In the screen-shot, I used Alt-
Mouse1 to initiate a window move near the bottom of the firefox window.
As you can see, I dragged the mouse (mouse is actually in the move icon,
but screen-shot doesn't show it) about half-way up the screen, and the
window did not budge - just some stretching from the wobbly window plug-
in.

2] A window may be moved below the bottom screen edge, but it cannot
move above the top gnome-panel (or upper screen edge, if no top panel
exists).

3] If this has to do with the resistance/attraction setting, then I
believe the default should be switched from resistance to attraction, as
it works MUCH better and more intuitively - although any selection makes
very little difference in functionality.

4] The tool-tips should be updated as they are completely useless. If
someone does not know what attraction/resistance are or how changing the
px distance will effect them, then the current tool-tips are meaningless
and make moving/snapping windows not work as the user expects.

If it affects snapping/wobbling...my upper panel is 32px and bottom
panel is 28px.
