Description:
I use the desktop wall plugin of compiz and I checked the "Edge Flip Move" option in "Edge Flipping" tab to be able to drag a window from one desktop to another by holding down the window header with left mouse button and dragging it out of the desktop to cause a desktop change. This basically works, but it has a bug since launch of 12.04. If the desktop switch has been executed, the mouse pointer looses the window. That means that the window didn't move exactly the same position as the mouse pointer does. The window is slower than the mouse pointer. On the next desktop the mouse pointer is ahead of the window but I can still move the window around as long as I didn't stop holding the left mouse button, although the mouse pointer is out of the window.  If I try to drag a window to the next but one desktop, I loose the window in the second desktop and don't see it on the third desktop because the window is so much behind the mouse pointer that I gets lost in the previous desktop view. 

Expected:
Window should move to the same position as the mouse pointer does. This worked in all previous versions of compiz.
