Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity
The tiling utility - dragging a window to the left or right border of
the current screen will auto tile the window to that side of screen. In
a multi head configuration with several monitors this behaviour is not
defined by monitor. Dragging a window to the right border of the left
monitor will not trigger the auto tile, not until the window are
dragged to the right border of the rightmost monitor the window is tiled
and when the window are moved back to the left monitor the vertical
maximize and the proper width is forgotten. A better behaviour would be
to trigger the auto tile at the border of the monitor (windows are
usually placed in relation to the monitor, not the screen). If the
dragging not stops when the yellow square from auto tile shows the
window are moved to the next monitor as usually.
The auto tile are a fast and convenient method to split a monitor in
two, working with two equally sized windows. In configurations with for
example two monitors the left and right tiled window are a fourth width
and not placed side by side and with a wide gap in the middle. Even if
the two monitors would be seamlessly assembled without any frame or
space between the auto tile would be of any practical use.
