[Bug 974242] Re: Compiz edge detection code is moving windows against my will

 

I just wanted to confirm that this is happening on both by Nvidia
TwinView desktop and my Intel 945GM laptop.  Both of these systems are
ubuntu 12.04 - amd64.  Problematic behavior disappears after disabling
the place plugin within compiz.  After disabling this plugin remember
that holding the alt key will allow you to move a window even if you
can't grab the bar along the top.

The worst impact of this bug for me is windows getting stuck to the top
and bottom of the screen.  After a window has touched either the bottom
or top of the screen it will permanently be stuck there.  I can drag the
window away from the edge but the moment I release the mouse button the
window will return to the edge.  Moving a window to the left or right
causes the mouse cursor to no longer match up with the window....This
causes a certain degree of desktop flipping and window management havoc.
I use a 4x1 (4 columns x 1 row) workspace layout so moving windows off
the workspace left or right is different than moving them up or down.
