No window overlap "resistance"
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:45 EST
Description of problem: Without desktop effects on, when I move a window it has "resistance" when it first abuts with another window; this allows easy placement of windows next to each other. When I turn desktop effects on, this "resistance" no long is present Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compiz.i386 0.0.13-0.31.20060817gi How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. enable desktop effects 2. make two gnome-terminal windows 3. move one up to the other Actual results: I would expect the window to pause and "resist" overlapping the other windows when the two edges meet. Expected results: No resistance to overlapping. Additional info:
You can press shift while moving windows to get this effect.
That's great that I can do it, but isn't it still confusing the the user that when they enable wobbly windows that they now have to use shift to get the window alignment behavior they had before? It doesn't say that when they turn on the effect. Can one make the "resistance" behavior on always without using "shift"? If so, couldn't that be set to the default so the alignment behavior is consistent whether the window is wobbly or not? Just my 2 cents.
