Windows is resized vertically when resized to edge even when grid is off

[mmxbass]

Very simple to get here:

1: Get Ubuntu 12.10.
2: Resize a window by grabbing the BOTTOM edge and drag it to the BOTTOM of the screen
3: Window is INFURIATINGLY now vertically maximized
4: DISABLE obnoxious "Grid" plugin in compiz & make note to punch plugin author in face should you ever meet him in person
5: Resize a window by grabbing the BOTTOM edge and drag it to the BOTTOM of the screen
6: Window is *AGAIN* now vertically maximized
7: Restart for good measure
8: Resize a window by grabbing the BOTTOM edge and drag it to the BOTTOM of the screen
9: You guessed it... window is YET AGAIN now vertically maximized
10: File bug report

I think this is a new feature from the Unity design team. I didn't agree with it either.

Try this to disable it:
    CCSM > Resize Window > Maximize Vertically if screen edge hit = OFF

That'll do it. Someone buy this man a drink.

As a side note, Ubuntu should publish an official "how to turn off obnoxious defaults" guide.
