Bug Description

If a model dialogue is up and you try to half-maximize the window by dragging it to the side of the screen (Grid plugin), the animation will freeze and the window will be unclickable.

Tested by opening Firefox, opening a few new tabs, attempt to close window to bring up modal dialogue warning about open tabs, drag window to side of screen.

Screenshot attatched, as you can see from the selection box drawn on the desktop, the animation is frozen.

TEST CASE:
1. Open a Unity Modal dialog
   1.1 Launch gedit
   1.2 Enter some text
   1.3 Click on gedit's window close button to open the confirmation dialog
2. Drag parent window to the edge of the screen
3. Move around, even close gedit

Result:
The grid is highlighted, even if the parent application is not opened anymore.
