Package: awesome Version: 3.0~rc6-1 Severity: normal When a floating window is snapped to the edge of the screen and being dragged away, aewsome apparently expects a certian level of mouse accelleration to overcome the edge resistance and unsnap it. This doesn't feel right to me (awesome 2 felt ok).
In particular, I can drag the mouse pointer slowly all the way across
the screen attempting to get the window to move, and if I keep the
accelleration low, it never moves. I have to really hit the track pad
hard to get sufficient acceleration to unsnap the window.
One especially annoying case is this:
|<-------- tiled window ----------------------> <------ tiled window ----->|
| <-- floating window --> |
In this case the floating window is snapped to the left side of the
tiled window. I want to move it to be against the right side of the
screen. To do so, I have to accellerate the mouse a lot. More than I
actually want to move the window to put it where I want it. So I end up
doing this:
|<-------- tiled window ----------------------> <------ tiled window ----->|
| <-- floating win|
I don't know if you just need to tune the numbers, or if the whole model
needs improvment. Seems to me that if I drag the mouse N[1] pixels, it
shouldn't matter how fast I dragged it, it should always unsnap.
[1] Where N is lower than the minimum distance one typically wants to
move a window, but larger than the amount one might accidentially
move it when dragging it in the perpendicular direction.
