Wobbly windows shiver when dragging to another workspace

[Vlad Socaciu]

This problem is directly connected to the "Snap inverted" option. When I disable the check box from "CompizConfig Settings Manager -> Wobbly windows -> Snap Inverted check box" the problem is gone.

I also noted that it gets really serious with bigger windows.

I videotaped the problem, you can see it in the attachment.

I looked a bit online, I think that's related to windows snapping to the edge of the window? So wouldn't it be intended for it to snap and wobble like that?

[Vlad Socaciu (vladsocaciu)]

No, I still think it's a bug.

The window is indeed supposed to snap to the edge of the screen, and wobble when dragged away - and it does. But what I'm trying to point out is a different story. The wobble happens when the window is in mid-transition between two workspaces, just after the rotation of the cube. And it can get pretty wild sometimes, with the window looking like it's being torn apart.

I think you should change the "invalid" status.

[Matthew Woerly (nattgew)]

Ok, I agree. Thanks for clarifying.

 If I understand what is being said I think I have seen this. It seems to stem from a problem I have noticed with window sizing, I often double click a window title bar to 'Unmaximize' it and it fails to execute, it looks like it didn't work however it does become unmaximized but in a maximized looking size, I have to grab a corner and resize it manually. Add to that wobly windows and try to unmaximize it and the window will sit there twitching.

Does this affect currently supported versions of compiz/ubuntu?
