Comment 12 for bug 1727225

"it doesn't seem to me that there are people who *never* want edge snapping."

I for one would want to disable this with an option. I never want windows to snap when I'm dragging them. The more windows I have on the the desktop, the more edges it will have to snap too. The end-effect is that dragging windows looks like a laggy mess, and it's really annoying.

"A patch to allow disabling with a modifier key (see bug 341767) would be a bit more likely to be accepted"

I wouldn't want to hold a modifier key for my desktop experience not to be laggy.

"Rather, for the set of people who like to position their windows really carefully, there are sometimes cases where edge snapping doesn't do what they want."

The main issue here isn't that I want to have my windows non-aligned, I want the drawing of moving windows to be smooth.

Microsoft Windows doesn't do this, and if it did, I'm sure they'd add it as an option and not as a default that you cannot turn off.
