** Description changed:

  When placing windows on left or right (ctrl+alt+4, ctrl+alt+6), the
  windows do not cycle through different sizes, occupying only half of the
  screen. The rest of placing locations works perfectly.
  
  The problem was initially reported in bug #862260, and supposedly fixed.
  I am using compiz-plugins-main and compiz-plugins-main-default version
  1:0.9.6-0ubuntu4, and the problem persists.
  
  ------------------------------------------------------------
+ 
+ At the moment we are in a halfway house with some of the absolute
+ positioning shortcuts working and some of the variable positioning
+ shortcuts working, and we need to take a decision as to which path to
+ follow.  The absolute positioning shortcuts have the benefit of greater
+ simplicity and less scope for confusion so this is the path I propose we
+ should follow.  When using absolute positioning users to not need to be
+ aware of the current window state before pressing the key combo, which
+ makes the operation quicker and less prone to unwanted results.

  Desired resolution:
  
  Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 7 - Place window in top left corner of screen. Pressing
  a second time does nothing.
  
  Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 8 - Place window in top half of screen. Pressing a
  second time does nothing.
  
  Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 9 - Place window in top right corner of screen. Pressing
  a second time does nothing.
  
  Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 4 - Place window on the left side of the screen in
  *semi-maximised* state (it is important that the window is actually
  semi-maximised, not just the same size and position as a semi-maximised
  window)  Pressing a second time does nothing.
  
  Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 5 - Maximize window. If window is already Maximised,
  pressing this key combo restores the window to the exact same size,
  shape and position it was before it was Maximised.
  
  Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 6 - Place window on the right side of the screen (it is
  important that the window is actually semi-maximised, not just the same
  size and position as a semi-maximised window). Pressing a second time
  does nothing.
  
  Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 1 - Place window in the bottom left corner of the
  screen. Pressing a second time does nothing.
  
  Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 2 - Place window in the bottom half of the screen.
  Pressing a second time does nothing.
  
  Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 3 - Place window in the bottom right corner of the
  screen. Pressing a second time does nothing.
  
  Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 0 - Minimise window. If window is already Minimised,
  pressing this key combo restores the window to the exact same size,
  shape and position it was before it was Minimised.

Title:
  Grid plugin behaviour is incorrect since last update. Resizing left or
  right only changes the size of the window to half-screen.
