Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

1] A window will not snap off the bottom screen edge without disabling wobbly windows by holding the Shift key. In the screen-shot, I used Alt-Mouse1 to initiate a window move near the bottom of the firefox window. As you can see, I dragged the mouse (mouse is actually in the move icon, but screen-shot doesn't show it) about half-way up the screen, and the window did not budge - just some stretching from the wobbly window plug-in.

2] A window may be moved below the bottom screen edge, but it cannot move above the top gnome-panel (or upper screen edge, if no top panel exists).

3] If this has to do with the resistance/attraction setting, then I believe the default should be switched from resistance to attraction, as it works MUCH better and more intuitively - although any selection makes very little difference in functionality.

4] The tool-tips should be updated as they are completely useless. If someone does not know what attraction/resistance are or how changing the px distance will effect them, then the current tool-tips are meaningless and make moving/snapping windows not work as the user expects.

If it affects snapping/wobbling...my upper panel is 32px and bottom panel is 28px.

That's basically by design and one of the many reasons we don't enable wobbly by default.
