Description:
Using the new Windows 7 window snapping, when the application is snapped to the side, causing the application to take up half the screen, it does not snap properly, consuming more than 50% of the screen.

How to repeat:
1. Drag the window to either the left or right of the monitor's end, until the operating system shows the snap outline.
2. Release the mouse
3. Drag another application (such as a web browser) and do the same to the other side of the screen.

Notice that MySQL Workbench still occupies more than 50% of the screen but the other application occupies exactly 50% of the screen.

this is due to the minimum-width workbench-app has set for its main window. notice that the preview-rectangle of the snap-feature already shows how much space the window will take when it gets docked to the side.
