    Poor performance moving window

    Has anyone else experienced awful performance when moving windows around the screen?

    If I try to drag one at more than a snail's pace, it jerks and jumps like I'm running a Rage II from the 90s. It has run smoothly once or twice, but that's about. Nothing seems to be using resources more than usual.

    Same for me. Maybe it is the high resolution. If you want you can try the gnome3 interface which works better. You can use also gnome without graphics enhanced.

    If you want to install it you can first install synaptic (sudo apt-get install synaptic) and then search for gnome 3. The packages are gnome-session. You can also try gnome-session-fallback.

    You can always try the ubuntu-2d solution.

    Long standing bug.
    Doesn't appear in my 12.04 testing install so I'm just putting up with it for now.

    I prefer Gnome3 to Unity, I used to run Fedora. When the hard drive died, I thought I'd swing by and try the latest Ubuntu build. If I'm going to bother with Gnome3, I'd probably just go back to Fedora.

    I think that's what I'll have to do; I can't put my finger on the cause.
