Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04.
Moving and resizing windows via the keyboard (alt+space+m for move, alt+space+r or alt+F8 for resize) works great with metacity, but only partially with compiz.
The main problem is that window snapping (by holding down shift while using the arrow keys to move/resize) does not happen, so our only choice is to keep resizing/moving the window to the desired place, or using the mouse.
The second, minor problem is that during a resize the notification showing the row/column size on a terminal window shows artifacts, as it moves when the window is resized.
This may be related to the following bugs:

summary: |
- keyboard moving/resizing partially broken with compiz + Windows resized via keyboard do not snap |
Changed in compiz (Ubuntu): | |
importance: | Undecided → Low |
status: | New → Triaged |
The bug still exists in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Beta. Same symptoms as before.
To be clear, there are 3 things I would like to see happen (all of these are in the context of moving/resizing windows with the keyboard):
1. Holding the shift key while moving a window will cause it to jump to the next edge (window border or screen border)
2. Holding the shift key while resizing a window will cause the side being resized to jump to the next edge.
3. The window size information (such as when resizing a terminal window) will be properly redrawn (no artifacts) when the window is being resized.
If any of these are unclear, go see what happens when using Metacity. I just want the functionality in Compiz to be the same as that.
