Fix committed upstream. The new behaviour is this: Calculate possible resize area based on the area of the output between panels and docks. If two outputs are next to each other *exactly* (eg, no gap between them) and there is also no panel in the way, then the possible resize area is expanded to the output. Also if a window was already underneath a dock that dock is ignored when calculating possible resize area. > > Jeff, if I get it working I'll let you know.
