With Debian Jessie using the GNOME Shell Desktop, when I drag a window to the edge of the screen, it will attempt to maximise the window. This is similar to Windows' Aero Snap feature, which has a well documented method of turning it on/off.
How can I stop GNOME Desktop from doing this? I've looked through the options with gnome-tweak-tool
, but haven't found anything relevant.
This is most likely a duplicate, but after searching for half an hour I give up. It is not related to GNOME Classic or compiz, which have many answers.
Update: I've tried setting:
dconf write /org/gnome/shell/overrides/edge-tiling false
(or finding it with the dconf-editor
GUI) which is described:
Summary: Enable edge tiling when dropping windows on screen edges
Description: This key overrides the key in org.gnome.mutter when running GNOME Shell.
After restarting, this does not fix the issue. I've also tried looking in with gconf-editor
but haven't found anything related to "window", "shell" or "tiling".
So, still unsolved.
I can only go as far as desktop > gnome, but cannot go past this. While it did not solve my issue, the +50 should go somewhere. – Mike T – 2016-03-22T07:48:53.070
Sorry to hear that. The documentation on Gnome Shell is nearly non-existent, it's a pity. Thanks for the bounty. – L. Levrel – 2016-03-22T10:18:36.983
