Right-click on title bar does not open window options menu

[Susan Cragin]

This bug crept in yesterday 20-jul-2011.
I can no longer change the location of a running program by right-mousing on the top bar. The bar is "dead."

Confirmed, this is a pretty major regression if not (somehow) intentional.

It cannot be intentional because the "work-around" has stopped working, too.
The work-around option for moving an open program window to another screen is to drag-and-drop beyond the confines of the current window, switch to the new window, and finish dragging the program.
Well, the program's top bar gets "stuck' in the old screen.

If this is somehow intentional, if it does eliminate a keystroke command and replace it with only a drag-and-drop option (which I doubt) I would like to register an objection because dragging mouse commands are uncomfortable and slower, especially for those on laptops with touchpads.

[Susan Cragin (susancragin)]

I should say, on a vertical move it gets stuck, not on a horizontal.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

Bug is in unity-window-decorator which is part of compiz.

[Brendan Donegan (brendan-donegan)]

Susan,

You can also move a window to a different workspace easily just by holding Ctrl+Alt+Shift and then pressing an arrow key (right usually, if you are on the first workspace). Hope that works for you in the meantime while this bug is being fixed.

Thanks,
