Please Unity stop maximizing the window!
> 2. Drag a window to the left or right side of the screen. It will resize and snap to the edge of the window taking up 50% of the display. (Great for having two windows side-by-side.)
How do I stop Unity from resizing and snapping the window?
I spend more effort and suffer more distraction undoing Unity's "helpfulness" than I ever spent on window management before, on any OS.

- igouy 15y agoThanks. I've just installed compizconfig-settings-manager and now - before I had a chance to disable the "Grid" plugin kkkrrsh - the launcher won't appear, there's no menu bar at the top of the screen, and I kind of hope the desktop will magically fix itself when I reboot the machine. Edit: Nope, the desktop is toast. So now I have to figure out how to open a terminal window, and how to reset Unity, before I can even try to stop Unity being a control-freak. I feel so lucky to have a Windows partition that might allow me to be productive in the meantime! Edit2: Better and better - I can open a terminal window, I can type 'unity --reset' and then after a dozen lines the script hangs. Unity: What is there not to like?
