What happens is during window placement the new window asks "will I fit in this space?" and the wm does screen_width - (current_x + window_width) and looks if the result is > 0. So if your new window would just fit on the screen normally it is now too big and gets moved down a row to start over. This issue is the same with maximized windows. term windows tend to behave a little worse because they want to have sizes that a based on a ration. The CVS code takes this one step further and makes it so edge snap works on the available area, not the physical screen, just like placement and maximization. This behaviour is consistent with other wms that support strut (via the netwm).
