** Summary changed:

- Windows with should not show the semi-maximise gesture preview when their minimum width is greater than the semi-maximise width
+ Compiz still tries to semi-maximize windows when their minimum width is too large

** Description changed:

- Description:
- When a user tries to semi-maximise a window with a minimum horizontal size e.g. the Empathy 'Messaging and VoIP Accounts' window , a semi-maximise gesture preview is displayed.  However releasing the window will not semi-maximise the window because the window's minimum size is less than with width of the semi-maximise.
+ compiz 1:0.9.7.4-0ubuntu1, unity 5.8.0-0ubuntu2, Ubuntu Pangolin
  
- Desired behaviour: 
- Do not display the window semi-maximise gesture previews for windows where the minimum width is greater than with width of a semi-maximise.  This is of course dependent on screen resolution.
+ 0. If necessary, switch to a display width that is less than double the minimum width of a window you have handy. For example, 1280 pixels and Ubuntu Software Center, which has a minimum width of 730 pixels.
+ 1. Drag all the way to the right edge of the screen.
+ 2. Release the drag.
+ 3. Drag all the way to the left edge of the screen.
+ 4. Release the drag.
+ 
+ What happens:
+ 1. The semi-maximize preview overlay appears.
+ 2. The window is placed as if it takes up half the screen, but is resized only to its minimum width, so its right side falls off the edge of the screen.
+ 3. The semi-maximize preview overlay appears.
+ 4. The window is semi-maximized at *less than* its specified minimum width.
+ 
+ What should happen (according to John Lea):
+ 1. Normal window movement continues, with no semi-maximize preview.
+ 2. The window is moved, but not semi-maximized, because it's too wide.
+ 3. Normal window movement continues, with no semi-maximize preview.
+ 4. The window is moved, but not semi-maximized, because it's too wide.
+ 
+ [Updated from the original description, where the preview would appear
+ but the semi-maximizing wouldn't happen.]
