Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

I don't know if this should be a "grid" bug or not.

1. open a firefox window and make it very small.
2. tile it to the left by dragging it to the screen edge.
3. open another firefox window.

see that it is the size of the tiled window
i expect it to be very small.

I actually think this behavior is quite intuitive, but adding a design task anyway.
