[Bug 2066169] Re: Active Screen Edges still working when disabled

[Steve Childs]

Just to add my confirmation of this bug, it doesn't matter what the
buttons are set to in the settings (they were turned off on my install),
it still offers to align the windows when you drag them towards the
edges of the screen.

On my multi-monitor setup, this occasionally results in the window being
bugged out and stuck to one of the zones if I accidentally drop them and
getting them out of that state requires me to press the windows key and
drag the window onto a new monitor and then I can select it again.

But on an multi-monitor setup it is really, really annoying that you
can't turn these snap zones off as every time you drag a window around
it offers to snap it to the edges of multiple windows.

At the time of writing the importance of this bug is "undecided", which
I presume means it's not prioritized for fixing. Yes it's not world-
ending, but it's a prime example of an annoying bug that is very
frustrating that it appears to slip through the cracks and ends up being
ignored.
