Version: (using KDE 4.3.4) Installed from: Unspecified Linux Please add a Snap Windows effect, which would make windows' borders which are n<N pixels away from another border or the screen edge "snap" to the edge. Other composting windows managers, such as Compiz and Windows 7, have this very helpful features.
This feature also helps prevent a common gotcha: Windows that are positioned in the upper right of the screen yet not maximized do not close when the user slams the cursor against the upper right corner and clicks, rather, the maximized application _behind_ gets closed instead. Snap Windows prevents this from occurring because the window can never be so close to the corner as to be misleading.
It works here. Do you have a multiple screen setup or another situation where this fails?
(In reply to comment #2) > It works here. Do you have a multiple screen setup or another situation where > this fails? It works also for multi screen setups and the distance is completely configurable. To me this is a WORKSFORME. The configuration can be found in Systemsettings -> window behaviour -> moving
No, I do not have multi screen setups. Thanks, Martin, I was looking in the Effects for the feature, not in Window Behaviour, as that is where the feature is in ֻCompiz. Although it was set to 10px it was not working. Disabling the feature then reenabling it made it work. That may be a bug in itself.
Bulk change: move all KWin kcm bugs to product kwin
