Bug#1026389: xfce4: split screen doesn't work anymore



Hi Bernhard,

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.


Sorry for not being enough precise.
When I disabled "With a dragged window" and applied the setting a file manager window
dragged to the left border of my VM did get resized to fill half of the screen.

"To screen borders" - default as far as I see is on and was on in all my tests.
"To other windows" - default as far as I remember is off and was off in all my tests. "With the mouse pointer" - default as far as I see is off and was off in all my tests.
"With a dragged window" - default as far as I see is on.

I confirm that either with those 4 defaults, or with "with a dragged window" off (as you suggested that would fix it), I still have it bugged.


If you still don't get a dragged window filling half of the screen,
then I can't reproduce your issue and don't have a solution.

Is there any other setting that might be affecting?

Cheers,

Alex


Kind regards,
Bernhard
