+ 1. (multi-monitor) Place a window between first and second monitor. The

+ [Regression potential]

+ Window placement in general, should be tested by manual/checkbox tests.

  My screen is Nvidia Twinview setup and I'm using Gnome Classic with
  Compiz.
  
  I have found that since updating to 12.04 windows have two detrimental
  regressions.
  
   1. If I place a window between the first and second monitor (so it
  overlaps both), the window is forced back over. I can understand this
  for off-screen windows but between-monitors is silly. And there should
  be an option for turning this off if there isn't one already.
  
   2. If I place a window half-off the bottom of the screen, all hell
  breaks loose. Firstly it snaps back up so it's all on the screen (makes
  sense if you like that sort of thing), but after that, there's no way to
  detach it from the bottom of the screen. As soon as you do (and then
  click anywhere) it snaps back down so the bottom of the window is back
  at the bottom of the screen.
  
-    The same is true with the top (if you move a window too high up (say
+    The same is true with the top (if you move a window too high up (say
  holding alt and left-click-dragging the bottom up). I've found no way to
  work around this other than to close the window and start again, or
  restart compiz.
  
  The first is a dual-screen issue, the second might affect everybody; but
  they definitely seem related.
