Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.22.0-2
Severity: normal


Hi

When dragging windows between screens on my dual-monitor 
setup Metacity sometimes crashes with a failed assertion:

**
** metacity:ERROR:(core/boxes.c:1128):meta_rectangle_edge_aligns: code should not be reached

This doesn't happen each time, but is 100% reproducable
by dragging for example a GNOME Terminal window 
across the screen border a couple of times.

Machine is a T61 Thinkpad using the internal LCD panel and an
external monitor. 

xserver-xorg 1:7.3+18, nvidia binary drivers 173.14.09-5
(using TwinView).

Metacity compositing is enabled.

Thanks
Tomaz
