[Bug 740306] Re: Dragging Nautilus window painfully slow/sticky

 

I'm afraid I don't have time to do that. If I upgrade to Oneiric
(reasonably likely to happen in the next 18 months) I'll let you know if
I can reproduce.

Title:
  Dragging Nautilus window painfully slow/sticky

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  When moving the Nautilus window around, if any of the edges of the
  window is close to the edge of the screen, dragging becomes painfully
  slow; the amount the window moves relative to the mouse becomes
  drastically reduced. It's like there's some logic for 'snap to edge'
  that is malfunctioning. I usually run a single Nautilus instance,
  large enough to almost fill the screen (but not maximised). Frequently
  I need to move the window between my two monitors, and instead of a
  simple drag, the procedure is:

  1. Move Nautilus window down such that none of its edges is close to the edge of the screen (i.e. so that the bottom edge of the window is safely off the bottom of the visible area)
  2. Perform horizontal movement to other monitor
  3. Raise window back up to desired position

  At first I assumed this was something to do with the window manager,
  but I only see this behaviour with Nautilus and not other programs.
