[Bug 891744] [NEW] compiz, stuttering window movement

 

Public bug reported:

Start any application. Press your alt key and drag the window around.
You may have noticed that, as soon as you touched any of the screen
edges the movement of the window will start to stutter.

Now, start and aplication and maximize it. Firefox will do. Start
something that has a window that pops up anywhere but the middle of the
screen. Move that window around. It stutters. Seems to"inherit" that
from the window that touched the screen edges, in this case maximized
Firefox.

Now minimize Firefox, start the same app that you started above and if
the window  did not touch any screen edge, move it around. Take care not
to touch the screen edge. Again, it should be smooth.

In CCSM, uncheck "window decorator". Try to move that same window again.
It becomes silky smooth, but you get no bars, borders, nothing.
