Can I turn off window snapping in GNOME 3?

Question

I want to avoid my windows snapping to the edge of my screen when resizing and moving, but it doesn't seem to work.

I am running GNOME 3.28.2 on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. I see no options for snapping when I go through the native Settings app, I have gnome-tweaks in which I see no options for snapping, and I have Compiz config which does have options for snapping, but unchecking it has no effect. Which has me wondering if Compiz config is outdated for GNOME 3 or something? My apt says it's the latest version, 1:0.9.13.1+18.04.20180302-0ubuntu1.

So, can I turn off window snapping in some alternative "hacky" way?

Edit

The suggested duplicate thread didn't solve it for me. I turned off the setting in Dconf editor as per the accepted answer, but they still snap. It seems quite inconsistent, and i can't figure out if it depends on the type of application or size of the window or what, however the title bar on top always snaps, whereas sides sometimes don't.

Answer 1

You have probably found the solution by now, but just in case you have not yet found it or some one else is interested. The gnome-tweaks option you are looking for is called 'Edge Tiling' located in the Windows section.

Answer 2

In KUbuntu v20.04 i do:

Disable:

[x] Screen Edges > Maximize dragged on top edge

Answer 3

What worked for me was deselecting

\CompizConfig Settings \Window Management \grid

Works great! Now windows go where I want them and when I want them to be there :)
