[Bug 1294864] Re: window snapping to the right edge is making the windows one or two pixels too narrow

 

This is Compiz issue and was introduced by this MP:
https://code.launchpad.net/~3v1n0/compiz/extents-clamp-
workarea/+merge/210202

That MP is protecting against bleeding the window's extents into another
work area.  Since the extents allow for mouse grabbing window resizing,
there is a small gap allowing for the window to be resized.

I don't think that MP took into account semi-maximized windows.  I'll
take a look and see if we can discount the extent when semi-maximized.

Title:
  window snapping to the right edge is making the windows one or two
  pixels too narrow

Bug description:
  Today is the first day I experience this. Window snapping has always
  worked perfectly on this machine.

  When snapping windows to the right side of the screen using either
  mouse or keyboard, any application's windows are not resized to fill
  up the screen to the right completely.

  vlc, nautilus, terminal, firefox, thundebird, chrome

  in rare cases, the resizing works correctly.
