Dragging Gimp's Toolbox to the edge of the screen expands it to half the screen (edge snap)

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

gimp 2.6.11-2ubuntu2, compiz 1:0.9.5.0-0ubuntu3, unity 4.6.0-0ubuntu4, Ubuntu Ocelot

1. Launch Gimp.
2. Drag the Toolbox window to the edge of the screen, to take advantage of Fitts' Law.

What happens:
2a. The Toolbox window expands to cover half the screen.
2b. The window's title bar is inaccessible off the top of the screen.

What should happen:
2a. Dragging a palette to the edge of the screen should never enlarge it.
2b. When a window has a title bar, the title bar should always be accessible.

For 2a, either Gimp is not setting the appropriate window type for the Toolbox, or Compiz is not smart enough about which window types it applies edge snap to, or both.

I believe fixing bug 822681 would fix this one as well, bug 822681 was not an issue in Natty.

All modal dialogs and windows without ‘mazimize’ button should not be recognized by ‘Grid’ plugin (you should not be capable to activate Grid by dragging a modal dialog).

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The grid option is a compiz one, reassigning there, is that still an issue with the current compiz sru which fixed the bug pointed in comment #2?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Can you still reproduce this using an up-to-date oneiric? I have tried, but using Gimp 2.6.11-2ubuntu4, compiz 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu6 and unity 4.24.0-0ubuntu2b1 this doesn't happen anymore, the toolbox window is not snapped, so maybe this has been fixed.

Verified this no longer happening in Compiz 0.9.11 or later.

[Stephen M. Webb (bregma)]

Verified this is no longer happening in Ubuntu 14.04 and later.
