Snapping windows get enabled automatically sometimes

[Xtien]

Every once in a while, the windows edges get sticky. In combination with Wobbly Windows, this gives an annoying behavior. The setting for snappy windows in compiz is off (stays of), and sticky edges in system settings/display are off and stay off. I resolve the issue by fooling around with these settings and by switching wobbly windows off and on again. But the edges should not get sticky by themselves, should they?

It may be related to Google Chrome. I noticed strange behavior of Chrome when this happened just a minute ago, like the Chrome window flickering and turning on and off.

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty) reached end-of-life on April 25,2019.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
