snap movements can cause infinite loops in window movements

[Sam Spilsbury]

Windows remain frozen on screen because we can't accurately ignore our own movements anymore

1. Semi maximize a window
2. Drag it across the screen
3. You shouldn't see jumping when dragging the window

Hey Sam, could you describe a way to observe this issue ?

I have the Snap plugin enable ( I use actually the wobbling window plugin ) and I can not see any frozen.

[Ngassam Nkwenga (cyrildz)]

I'm on the proposed repository

If it is that kind of behaviour (video attached) that you are targetting, yes it happened to me yesterday with the new compiz. I am not able to reproduce it today. I will try again to find how to reproduce.
