Title:
Unity-2D/metacity window placement/move problems in precise
Status in metacity package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I've upgraded oneiric to precise (32 bit). One annoying problem is the
window placement/moving policy now. In oneiric this worked (I am using
Unity-2D, so metacity, composing manager/effects are enabled) very
well. If I open a new window, it will be placed "stacked" on existing
window (eg if I open a new terminal (usually I have to open more of
them), even if there is lots of "free" space on the workspace. So, I
think metacity in oneiric tries to use available 'free' screen space,
which is not true for oneiric. Another annoying thing is the window
border "resistance". In oneiric, if I move a window, there is need for
a little "push more" action to be able to move window when border is
at another window's border. It's a great help to align windows in a
nice way. In precise, this does not work, or at least it behaves
oddly: if I move a window towards another horizontally this _is_ this
effect, however not at the border but _before_ it! There is a huge
space, probably the same size as the Unity launcher bar, is it
possible, that positions are miscalculated? I am using "auto hide" for
Unity. There is similar problem vertically however the "gap" is
smaller, and I have no idea if there is some relation of the size of
the gap and any other thing. It's about half of the height of the top
panel, for example.
