Grid overlay effect does not disappear when it should

[José Antonio]

When snapping a window to occupy half of the screen size available the effect (the golden colored rectangle) does not disappears when dragging a window to one of the screen lateral sides and then dragging the same window to the button (the window must be dragged to the button always in "contact" with the screen edges). I've attached a video of how this happens for better understanding. see video in comment4

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:

* Is this reproducible?
* If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

This will help us to find and resolve the problem.

[José Antonio (josian2200)]

To reproduce this bug just drag a window to either left or right side of the screen and let the grid overlay effect appear, then drag the window to to button of the screen always having the window the closest possible to the screen edge (else the grid overlay effect will disappear), I attached a video of how to reproduce the bug but I think the frame rate I selected is too fast I'll make a newer one.

The Precise Pangolin has reached end of life, so this bug will not be fixed for that release
