[GNOME] Disable window snap

HI

I am trying out GNOME 3. The only problem so far is that i can not find the way to disable window snap. By window snap i don't mean snapping screen edges but snapping other windows when i drag a window. I have searched extensively on the subject but didn't find the way. Is this even possible?

Thx for any help.

Re: [GNOME] Disable window snap

Hello Arch community.

I would like to know is there a way to disable window to window snapping in Gnome 3. I'm not talking about tiling to the edges, I've already turned it off.

It's very annoying to move windows around with this "lagging" effect. I didn't find this option in dconf, extensive googling was no help either. Which is quite surprising that I'm the only one who thinks that this is just poor piece of design in a way this thing is.
