Ah! Now I get the point. :-)

I always thought windows were automatically repositioned/resized by the system when a drawer was opened too close to the edge of the screen. So I didn't see why space would be needed. Thanks for the illumination. ;-)

Ok. So it would be good if the drawer side preference was taken into account, or alternatively, if the window was repositioned and/or resized when a drawer opens—in a way that the whole drawer is onscreen. OTOH the latter might not be what people want when having a maximized window.
