[Bug 878820] Re: Window Management, Keyboard shortcut - The grid keybindings are behaving inconsistently

 

I really hope this gets fixed. In many cases a 50/50 split is not the
way to go. Half of the screen may be to little space for e.g. a browser
window, but is wasted space for e.g. a terminal window. I use a 66/33
split way more often. While I would prefer separated shortcuts for 50/50
and 66/33 (or even something like Divvy), cycling is better than only
having 50/50 BY FAR.

I upgraded from 10.04 to 12.04 yesterday, stumbled upon this
bug/feature, and then restored 10.04 backups. Going back to resizing
windows with the mouse instead of keyboard shortcuts is a step I don't
want to take, it's slower by magnitudes. Please restore this
functionality, pretty please with sugar on top.

What fixes/workarounds/alternatives are there at the moment? Compiling
upstream grid from source? I tried and failed. Switching distribution?
I'm not happy about that idea either.
