Possible issue with wxAUI floating panels when dragging to screen edge?

[Marco DeFreitas]

I am using wxGTK-3.0.0 on SUSE Linux SLES 10.

Using the auidemo program, I try to undock a window and drag it to the
right of the screen. Once I get to the right edge of the screen I cannot
partially hide it... the entire window stays on screen. This is not too
bad, but it would be nice to partially hide it like other frames.

But... once I try to partially hide on the left side of the screen, the
left edge of the floating window stays on the left side of the screen until
the mouse crosses the left edge of the screen... then the entire window
jumps off the screen and i cannot access it any more.

Does anybody else see this? Perhaps it is my Window manager setting? Or
perhaps this is the behavior of wxMiniFrames on wxGTK?

Thanks!

Oops... I meant to say that when dragging a floating window to the left
edge of the screen, it immediately jumps off the screem (it does not wait
for the mouse to cross the left edge of the screen).

Thanks!

I solved this problem, and thought I would post this here in case someone
else had the same problem.

Moving a floating pane (wxMiniFrame) "partially" off the screen is indeed a
function of the Window Manager. I was using SUSE 11 Linux under the Gnome
desktop. Using the "CompizConfig Settings Manager", I unselect the "Place
Windows" option (under the Window Management category).
