Public bug reported:
Dear maintainers,
On Xubuntu 14.04 (and also Debian Jessie), maximizing a window (double
click on the title bar or clicking to the "+" button) after using
snapping (dragging to a screen edge) is problematic : the window will
sometimes be placed in a way that you can not move it anymore easily.
The worst example:
My panel is on the bottom. If I drag a window to the bottom of the screen, the
window "snaps" and then takes the half bottom of the screen. But then, if I try
to maximize this window, the window disappears : only a part of the title bar
is visble, hidden behind the panel. The only way I found to make it visible
again is to right click on the window's name on the task panel and to choose
"Maximize". After that, if I unmaximize the window, it disappears again, so I
must drag the maximised window to the middle of the screen f I do not want it
maximized anymore.
A "less worst example":
My panel is on top. If I drag a window to the top of the screen, the window
"snaps" and then takes the half top of the screen. The title bar of the window
is almost completely hidden under the panel (using Xubuntu 14.04 default
appearance). You can move it, but it is difficult (or you have to know how to
use the Alt key).
In my opinion, in this context the window should return to the middle of
the screen, or at least not be allowed to go outside of it.
Thanks for your time and work,
YvanM
