Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create a desktop with 4 workspaces in a 2x2 grid.
2) Set your resolution to a value larger than your physical monitor. (You will
either have to plug in a different, larger monitor, or add a mode that is
larger than your current physical monitor)
xrandr --mode 1680x1050
3) Resize some windows into the new space you've created (but cannot see on the
monitor)
4) Set your resolution back to your normal resolution. In my case:
xrandr --mode 1200x800
Notice how the windows don't move back. Parts of the windows are eating
into the adjacent workspaces.
What SHOULD happen:
Windows should resize so they fit within the new resolution screen (avoiding
the panels!).
Also, a similar problem occurs when you're making resolution larger.
1) Create 2x2 workspace grid.
2) Put a window in each workspace.
3) Set your resolution up to a large resolution
Notice how all four windows eat their way into the first workspace.
They should all segregate themselves into their own respective workspaces.
I wasn't sure whether this problem was with the X-Window system not resizing
things properly or with the GNOME workspaces not adjusting window sizes upon
resolution changes..
