Bug Description
Drag mouse pointer over to either side or top seems to trigger grid to automatically assign the next pressed app window into grid.
Steps to reproduce
1. Drag mouse pointer over to either side or top.
2. Half of the screen is highlighted and esc doesn't seem to exit the function.
3. Press an app window to terminate the annoyance factor.
Results
1. Window gets put into either half of the screen space.
Expected results
1. Drag mouse pointer over to wither side or top.
2. Nothing. No highlighting, & no resizing of any windows.
Comment
This seems to be a neat feature, only if it weren't for this inadvertent triggering. I should be able to move my mouse, any and everywhere on my desktop real estate without unexpected results popping up, especially when no buttons (keyboard or mouse-wise) have been pressed.

It apparently is triggered by the compiz gird plugin, because the behaviour stopped when I deactivated it, if anyone is looking into it. The new version of this plugin is really buggy as it misbehaves in other ways. See https:/
