[Bug 1653232] [NEW] Dragging window to left edge or right edge or using keyboard shortcuts doesn't tile window to half the screen

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

What I expected to happen:
Dragging window to the left edge or right edge or using `Ctrl` + `Super` + `Left` or `Ctrl` + `Super` + `Right` tiles the window to half the screen.

What happens:
When doing any of those four actions, the window is not tiled to half the screen.

AskUbuntu post (there is a solution, but surely this should be enabled
by default? This is quite a big missing default feature. Also the
AskUbuntu question is for Ubuntu 16.04 (after upgrading from Ubuntu
15.10) but I have the same bug in a fresh Ubuntu 16.10 install):
