Description of problem:
Everything is much faster in xfce if you let
any window slide in right direction from
left edge of screen with snapping enabled.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open window
2. move it towards left edge of the screen until it starts to disappear
3. let the window slide in right direction until it snaps to the left edge
of the screen

Actual results:
Very fast.

Expected results:

Additional info:
See my previous bug report here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1693960

Number of workspaces: 2
Snapping: top 1, left 0, bottom 1, right 1

Basically you are restricted to Up Right movement.

With volume controls you can try: vol - + +

So, if I'm not mistaken you just have to give
first the opposite direction and then travel
in the direction that's favored, < > > for example
or volume down up up. ;-)

Cursor has to precede the snapping direction?

So, by my current newbie theory something
just gets displaced by drawn menu (right-click).

For example (with left or right snapping enabled):

> cursor
cursor <

ok. :-)
The secret code to increase text speed would be:

Load > snap

Snapping might have to be strictly horizontal
and can only happen after sh1t is loaded. O_o

By that explanation with left screen edge snap
image skips cursor leaving it behind.

Look like it's a simple cursor --> window bug.

Notice difference in zooming performance if you:

Alt-TAB

vs

Alt-TAB followed by Alt-TAB Shift-Alt-TAB

Zooming is better for the latter. >:]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures.

At a minimum, we need:
1. The specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem.
2. The behavior you expected.
3. The behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

This improves responsiveness, I don't know why. :)

Slow text should be usually a first sign that something is

Hardware overheats. This is considered abnormal.

Alt+TAB -> move right

What it can fix? I have no idea. :)
+-1? Would this be Array length logic? O_o

Something that should be in focus plays catch-up?

This does something, either resets speed or closes escaping
