Bizarre window snap at screen borders

[Wes Hardin]

It is an intended behavior.  It was introduced (with many bugs) in 4.11 and
refined gradually over the past two releases.  I understand the developer's
reasoning, but it has no benefit in my (and apparently others') workflow.  I
have had lengthy dicussions with the KDE developers about at least making it
optional.  They have refused.

Just to be clear, it is only at the desktop edges; in a multi-monitor setup the
edges between monitors is not affected.  Title bars are not affected, nor are
plasma panels.  My work-around has been to put very thin panels on all edges of
the desktop.  I lose a few pixels in each direction but at least I'm not going
mad wondering whether my client window is hanging off the screen.
