When I upgraded my Sid system yesterday (I do it every week or so),
windows cannot be moved to the edge of the screen to have them use half
screen.  It simply moves there without readjusting.

Dear Maintainer, hello Alejandro,
this looks like it appeared in unstable with the
appearance of xfwm4 4.18.0-1 at 2022-12-15,
replacing the previous version 4.16.1-1 in unstable.

And looks like it was discussed upstream in this report:
   https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/-/issues/685

Thanks!


And indeed, when unchecking following in Window Manager
settings it seems to "snap" again:

   Wrap workspaces when reaching the screen edge / With a dragged window


I had that one disabled (but I didn't do that; I guess it was like that by default).  My windows don't move to other workspaces when moving them, and yet don't "snap".

I don't know exactly what is meant by snap, so I'll clarify:

If I move a window adjacent to another window or the edge of the screen, it repositions itself so the the borders are touching (I can adjust the distance at which that occurs). That's "Settings manager->Personal->Window Manager->Advanced->Windows Snapping".

However, windows don't resize automatically to use half screen or quarter screen. I can't manage to get that working, which previously worked by default.

  I just get windows that are half in a workspace, half nowhere. They don't jump to another workspace nor tile.

So this looks like expected behaviour from upstream.

Kind regards,
Bernhard

Kind regards,

Alex
