Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compiz-fusion-plugins-main
When the option "Edge Flip DnD" is enabled in the Wall plugin, Compiz
takes control of the screen edges for its own purposes, meaning that,
for example, an autohiding panel cannot be accessed by moving the mouse
to the appropriate screen edge. Obviously, "Edge Flip Pointer" also does
this, but that is by definition. However, "Edge Flip Move" does *not*
monopolize the screen edges.
While I understand that in general, there is no good way to allow both
Compiz and the panels to share the screen edges, I think a solution is
possible here, since drag-and-drop requires holding down a mouse button,
just like moving a window. I would expect that the "Edge Flip DnD"
option could be programmed to only take control of screen edges while a
mouse button is held down, just like "Edge Flip Move."
For now, the solution is to disable Edge Flip DnD, which is rarely used
anyway.
