Thank you for your bug report, I have confirmed it due to the information provided.
** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Description changed: - If I resize a window by dragging a window corner or side, and the mouse - cursor hits a "hot zone" in the corner or at the edge of the screen, an - orange bar showing the future position of the window is drawn, and if I - release mouse button, the window indeed jumps to that position. - - This "grid" behaviour should not be activated when you resize the - window, only when you drag it. + If I resize a window by dragging a window corner or side, and drag it to + the corner of the screen, the "aero half-size snap" to half the monitor + width is activated. It shows the original trace in addition to the aero- + snap trace of the window's future position. The "aero-snap" should only + be activated with a window move, not a resize.
