Using Right-Click to snap a window border to the edge of the screen can result in confusing behaviour if used with the resize button - caused I think because both the Right-Click method and the resize button act as a kind of toggle. To reproduce:

1. Open any resizable window (e.g. Notepad). Make sure it is 'Restored' not 'Maximised'.
2. Use the Right-Click method to effectively maximise it to all 4 borders of the screen.
3. Hit the 'Resize' toolbar button, to, for example, resize it to 800x600.
4. Now Right-Click on any edge.

At step 4, the intuitive behaviour would be to snap to the edge of the screen again, but of course it tries to 'undo' the previous snap to edge and repositions the window border to its original location. Depending on where the (now 800x600) window is positioned, this can be very confusing, or even appear to do nothing.

I would suggest these 2 features should 'reset' each other (i.e. return their state to the default state), rather than preserve the toggle state.

Cheers,

Dave.

Looks perfect from here! Much more intuitive behaviour now.

Cheers,
