Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
Ubuntu 11.04
compiz 1:0.9.4+
Steps to reproduce:
Install Ubuntu 11.04.
Install Compiz Config manager.
In compiz config manager, bind "Put Left" to <Super>u , "Put Right" to <Super>i
Start mashing <Super>u and <Super>i
Expected Behavior:
Upon repeatedly pressing <Super>i (Put Right), I expect the window to toggle through 3 states: 50% width, 33% width, 66% width, at all times touching the right edge of the screen.
Upon repeatedly pressing <Super>u(Put Left), I expect the window to toggle through 3 states: 50% width, 33% width, 66% width, at all times touching the left edge of the screen.
Observed Behavior:
Upon repeatedly pressing <Super>i (Put Right), the window toggles between 5 states: 50% width touching right side, 33% width NOT touching right side with an arbitrary _margin_, 25% width NOT touching right side with an arbitrary _margin_, 75% width touching right side, 66% width touching right side.
Upon repeatedly pressing <Super>u (Put Left), the window toggles between 5 states: 50% width touching left side, ?% width NOT touching left side with an arbitrary _cropping_, ?% width NOT touching the left side with an arbitrary _cropping_, 75% width touching left side, 66% width touching left side.
Intuition: I'm guessing there were bugs introduced into the previously stable grid plugin in 10.04 and 10.10 in order to make the mouse behavior default in Ubuntu 11.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. Compiz, in particular, is in heavy development and this bug may have been fixed in the development version of Ubuntu (12.04) if not on your current version. If you are able, it would be of great help if you could confirm if the bug still exists by testing a livecd (available at ubuntu.com). When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. If you are unable to test the development version, please let us know if you are able to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 11.10.
Thank you for your help and patience.
