We are especially interested whether somebody uses the options marked red in the attached image, and why they are considered useful. Any input welcome. If they are not widely used (means only few responses here) we might consider to remove them. Edited by kaputtnik: Show the image Edited: 2023-01-21, 12:37 Attachment: Top Quote

I would miss this feature if it will be removed. The Option Snap Windows only when overlapping was never used by me. Fight simulator for Widelands: https://wide-fighter.netlify.app/ Top Quote

I activated it to see its purpose, but nothing changed. The option value seems to not be used anywhere in the code either. I have also Dock windows to Edges active and find it quite useful.

I activated it to see its purpose, but nothing changed. When it is activated, the windows are not "pulled" together until they actually touch, but then there is a resistance before they are allowed to overlap. As for the original question: I don't use any of the snapping options, so I abstain. Top Quote
