** Description changed:

  WORKAROUND:
  1. Run "ccsm" (from the "compizconfig-settings-manager" package).
  2. Scroll down to "Window Management" and disable "Snapping Windows".
  
  ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
  If you quickly drag a window the cursor will start floating off the title bar.
  
  If you keep quickly switching desktops via drag (I used a circle type
  motion), you can get it so far apart that your cursor is on one screen
  and the folder window is on another.
  
+ Another way to reproduce this bug is to *quickly* drag a window to the
+ top of the screen and trigger the 'maximise preview transition' followed
+ by moving the mouse downwards without releasing the window.  Repeat
+ multiple times without releasing the window to accentuate the effect.
+ 
  I expected the mouse to stay in the same position on the window title
  bar, not go wandering off. If you let go, window stays where it looks
  like it is, does not zoom to be under mouse (Which is good I guess).
+ 
+ ------------------------
+ Desired resolution:
+ 
+ - When dragging a window by the window title bar using a pointer, the
+ pointer should always stay attached to *exactly* the same position of
+ the window title bar.
