Bug Description

When using the "put top right" key combination of ctrl+alt+KP9 or when setting upper right corner to "top right corner" under edges and then moving a window to that corner, compiz mistakenly places the window across the top edge rather than in the top right corner.

All other edges and corners appear to work correctly.
