Tiling a window + resizeing sends it out of screen

[Jackson Doak]

when you make a program open in half the screen by dragging it to the top, pressing the maximise button makes the top part of the window go above the screen.

Tile a window by dragging it to a screen edge (especially bottom one). Click the unmaximize button on the tile bar. The window size is restored correctly but the position is as it was just before tiling has happened, rather than before dragging was started. This is not what the user would expect (ending up with a window mostly off-screen).

This doesn't happen when the window is tiled using a keyboard shortcut.

a screenshot. due to my themes it may be slightly difficult to see.

also, the bug seems to be based on how high you drag the mouse.

I ran into a similar issue.

Maximizing a tiled window gives unexpected results. The window is not maximized and gets part stuck under the panel. This behaviour is application independent. I observed it with Firefox, Thunar, Transmission, etc.

I got this confirmed by several people in the xubuntu irc channels under 12.10 and 12.04.

I attached two screenshots to illustrate.

Steps to repeat:

1) tile window in upper half of the screen
2) click (+) or double click window title to maximize

I've tested it now in a Virtual machine installion. It happens always.

Nobody has some idea about it? Maybe someone could check the resize operation?
Maybe it contains something wrong..

And dragging it to the bottom make a problem too.
