Public bug reported:

Gnome Shell seems to do excessive window snapping while dragging
windows.

If I drag a window over the top of another, the top of both windows
briefly snap together before the window drag continues. To the untrained
eye this just looks like a visual glitch in the rendering and an excuse
to declare gnome-shell is less smooth than other shells.

It's also not useful to snap all such combinations of window edges like
that, so I suggest turning some of them off. For example, don't snap the
same edges of two windows when one is overlapping the other already.
