Bug Description

Natty 11.04, fresh install from Beta ISO. When dragging windows to sides or top I no longer get the blue highlight box showing whether the window will snap right, left or full screen and when the window is pulled all the way to either side and the mouse in moved down the screen, the window begins to be erased (pic attached). However, after releasing the left mouse button the window does snap to the expected size, just no blue highlight box.
