Clicking windows causes grab/move

[Apewall]

Clicking in the top header area of a non focused window causes your mouse to grab the window and then move it, as if you were using ALT+Click as is default in XFCE.

I'm not sure this is even an intended feature, but it is very annoying, especially on programs like Chromium where there is no border drawn by the window manager for you to click.

Anyone know how to disable this, or is this a bug, I've dug in the XFCE documentation but found NOTHING about it.

Strange.
Have you tried to delete some configuration folders (~/.cache ~/.config/Thunar ~/.config/xfce4 ~/.config/xfce4-session). Of course back-up them before deleting.

Yes, this seems to be the default behavior at least on xubuntu 11.10

It also does this on 3 separate machines. I forgot to note that this only occurs on windows that do not currently have focus, edited to reflect this in my original post.

Does anybody know a cure for this behavior? It is intensely irritating.

I have this problem as well with Xubuntu 12.04.

Could you describe what the problem is in more detail? I'm having some difficulty understanding what's going wrong precisely.

I am having the same problem, too.

Description: (example) resize window to fill 90% of screen height, 50% width, click on middle of window, window jumps to the lower right corner of the screen (with mouse pointer attached), sometimes moving it to adjacent desktop.

Dunno what caused it, didnt happen before.

best regards,

i am having this problem too.

Extremely annoying with touchpad on my asus eeepc.
It is sometimes difficult to release the grapped window.

dont really know what I do when it happens.

anyone have a fix?

[rai4shu2]

I don't think anyone can fix what they can't observe. Sorry.

Record it and post it on Youtube if you can't describe it better than that.
