Description of problem: In metacity I am able to move window so that it is partly out of the root window of the screen (i.e X < 0, Y + window_height > screen_height or X + window width > screen_width), but I am not able to move the window to Y < 0 coordinates (i.e. so that only bottom part of window remains visible). I think it is an inconsistency in the metacity user interface. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): metacity-2.6.3-1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. run gnome-terminal (for example) 2. right-click to the window decoration, the menu pops up 3. select "Move" from the pop-up menu 4. try to move the cursor near the upper, left, lower and right borders of the screen Actual results: You can move the window below the left, right and lower border of the screen, but not below the upper border. Expected results: All four borders should behave the same (preferrably the behaviour of the upper border should change). Additional info: I am using workspace switcher with 3x3 workspaces. The situation is the same on all workspaces. I don't think using workspace switcher matters in this case.
This is a deliberate feature, with lots of prior discussion (mostly in bugzilla.gnome.org)
