Vertical displays are useful for document reading usually, but not always, as a secondary display. The current snapping/tiling is targeted solely at the more common horizontal displays, and does not apply well to vertical orientation. Current behavior when you drag a window to ___ is to tile it at ___: - Top edge => Full Screen - Left edge => Left half of screen - Right edge => Right half of screen Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Grab and drag a window either by the title bar or by Alt+Click. 2. Drag it to an edges of the display. Actual Results: Window tiles (fills) part of the screen: Top edge => Full screen Center of left/right edges => left/right half screen Top/bottom of left/right edges => quarter screen Bottom edge => does nothing. Expected Results: Dependent on display orientation. Horizontal display should stay the same, except maybe: Bottom edge => minimize? (would feel weird if the menu were somewhere else, though...) Vertical display: remove left/right halves, add top/bottom halves. Maybe something like: top/bottom edges => top/bottom halves of the screen center of left/right edges => Full screen top/bottom part of left/right edges => quarter screen. While this is a purely cosmetic change I believe it would make vertical displays a little more productive. The current left/right half tiling creates pretty much useless "stripes" (3 pages of unreadable PDFs) in my current setup. Also placing windows in top/bottom halves requires me to place them in quarter-screen then resize, and takes some time that could be saved.
s/"full screen"/"maximized"/ - they're not the same concept. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 310005 ***
