Attached is the debdiff for the proposed Compiz SRU that fixes this. Also, a branch is linked to this bug for the same fix.
** Patch added: "compiz_precise_sru.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1171878/+attachment/4147625/+files/compiz_precise_sru.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1171878 Title: Adding/Removing an external monitor causes maximized windows to move to another workspace Status in Compiz: Fix Committed Status in Compiz Core: In Progress Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “compiz” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: [Impact] If I plug in external monitor, move a window to it, maximize window and remove external monitor, window is moved to the same workspace primary screen - this is correct behavior, but when I un-maximize it - window moves to different workspace. This most likely is because original window positions are not updated after removing the monitor and un-maximize still uses those old values to move the window to supposedly original position. Another use case is when window movement is somewhat wrong - external monitor plugged in, window is maximized on primary screen, move focus to different workspace, unplug the monitor, move back to the workspace when we have fullscreen window, unmaximize it - window un-maximizes not to original position, it's moved away by the same mount of pixels as external monitor width is. I expect that window stays on the same workspace - once it's on it it should not move unless I do that manually, also I expect that un- maximizing moves window to original position, not different. This is continuation of bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/763148, fullscreen window bug was separated as per "Christopher Townsend (townsend) wrote on 2013-04-18". P.S. Most likely bug can be fixed quite easy as behavior is similar to bug I mentioned, hopefully this can be included in the same SRU. thanks in advance Eduards [Test Case] ** Test Case 1 1. plug in external monitor and move a windows to it 2. maximize window 3. unplug external monitor 4. window moves to the primary display of the same workspace (this is correct) 5. un-maximize window 6. window un-maximizes to a different workspace (this is incorrect) ** Test Case 2 1. plug in external monitor 2. maximize window on primary (laptop display) 3. change to a different workspace 4. unplug external monitor 5. return to workspace with maximized window 6. un-maximize window 7. window un-maximizes to wrong position. instead of the original position it is shifted over by the same number of pixels as the width of the external monitor (also incorrect) [Other information] The bug fix also address bug LP: #763148 on precise.
