Bug Description
Summary:
Snapping a window to one side of the screen will often snap to the side of the wrong monitor.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have two monitors arranged side by side
2. Open a new application window such as nautilus or a terminal
3a. Grab the right half of the title bar of the window and drag it to the left side of the right monitor. Don't let go
or
3b. Grab the left half of the title bar of the window and drag it to the right side of the left monitor. Don't let go
- The orange window snapping guide will appear in the correct place
4. Let go of the mouse
- The window will snap to the wrong monitor
It appears due to the amount of the window hanging over the separation gap between the displays, it will favour snapping to the wrong monitor.
