GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 157826
shift-locking during window move gets confused
Last modified: 2005-01-26 18:00:13 UTC
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=132771 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open two windows on the screen 2. Position window A so its upper-left corner is near the center of the screen, with space above it to accomodate window B's entire height 3. Hold down Shift and position window B so its lower-left corner rests on window A's upper-left corner 4. Continuing to hold down Shift, move window B straight up Actual Results: Window B temporarily jumps straight up, locking on to the top edge of the screen (so its left edge remains aligned with window A's left edge), then quickly jumps to one of the corners (as if it "lost" its lock with the left edge of window A). Expected Results: Either moving window A up should cause it to immediately jump into a locked position in the screen corner, or it should remain "locked" against the left edge of window B (that it was just previously locked against) against the top edge of the screen. None of this jumping up, then a split second later jumping over.
korn sun com pointed out the same bug, but in terms of using the arrow keys; this bug didn't specify, but it sounds as though the mouse was being used. However, I have tested and both give the exact same behavior. Anyway, I'm marking this as a duplicate... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 124582 ***
