Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 11.04, Unity 3.8.16-0ubuntu1~natty1.
A nice feature of unity when using two monitors with TwinView is the
ability to pull down a maximised window (restore) from one screen and
drag it to the top of the other to maximise it there. This feels very
natural and lends itself to a swift movement. It seems that the
intention for a drag down is that the restored window be positioned such
that the mouse cursor is at the top and middle of the window's title
bar, as is the case it the action is performed very slowly. When the
action is performed swiftly, there is an offset from this position, as
if some initial part of the mouse displacement is excluded. This means
the mouse cursor ends up lower down in the window, and for a swift
manouevre from the left screen to the right for example, the window also
ends up behind its intended position (i.e. centred left of the mouse
cursor). While this does not prevent the user from maximising the
window on another screen (and so does not constitute of a loss of
functionality), it is a real detriment to the ergonomics of the
operation, which I would say ranks it slightly above a purely cosmetic
bug.
