Title:
  Cannot click on window title when window is at top screen edge and
  mouse at screen edge

Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: metacity

  I have the gnome-panel in mode 'not expand', i.e. it does not fill the whole width of the screen.
  I move a window to the top edge of the screen such that the title bar is exactly touching the screen edge.
  I obscure part of the window with a 2nd window.
  I move the mouse into the title bar of the first window and in fact against the screen edge.
  I click the mouse.

  expected behaviour: the window should raise.
  seen behaviour: the mouse pointer seems to be somehow outside the screen already, which is why the window is not raised.

  The same problem exists on the other screen edges where I am not able
  to click the window when the window is at the screen edge and the
  mouse touches the screen edge.

  (Yes, I know there are gazillions of other ways to raise a window, but
  moving the mouse to the extreme position at the screen edge and
  clicking reliefs me from properly targeting, which is why it is very
  convenient.)
