Title:
can no longer alt-drag firefox/thunderbird windows above top of screen
Status in metacity package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
After upgrading to 15.10, I can no longer Alt-drag Firefox and
Thunderbird windows above the top of the screen. When I attempt to do
so, the window snaps downward along the y-axis so that the titlebar
aligns with top of screen. Other applications such as gnome-terminal
do not seem to be affected.
I ran git-bisect on metacity, and narrowed the regression down to this
