"Snapping" is a feature of Windows. It makes the window you drag to the edge to automatically take half of the screen. I don't know if your current Gnome supports it.
I'm afraid you misunderstood my post. I also see the vertical split at far left on `wincmd H` and there are no problems with it. The point was different. Vim's main (GUI) window jumps to its previous location (before snapping), and this is an obvious bug.
