No, I don't want to tile here! (43.42 KB, image/png)

Description Volker Sobek (weld) 2012-10-23 21:32:47 UTC
I often find myself grabbing windows near the left corner of the title bar and dragging them to the top left corner or the left edge of the screen. That often unintentionally triggers the tiling.

Last time I checked Windows 7, it did only tile once the pointer hits the edge, ubuntu/unity does the same, I think.

Do we really need the margin at all?

This only happens when you grab on the left side of the border, not on the top, which is particularly confusing. I think the left border behavior should just be the same as the top (don't indicate and maximize unless the pointer hits the corner of the screen).

Comment 4 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 14:22:03 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
