[Bug 157497] Re: New windows stack up in top left corner
I'm running metacity 1:2.34.1-1ubuntu11 (as part of Unity 2D) on Ubuntu Precise amd64, and (despite post #12) I still see this issue. I have a keybinding to launch an xterm, and if I press it four times then I get four xterms opened in the top left of the screen, almost entirely overlapping each other. I have to manually drag the windows to be able to see their content. This is on an empty 1920x1200 desktop, so there is plenty of free space. Each window is very slightly offset from the previous one (1px to the right, and 28px down) so that only their title bars are non-overlapping. Could somebody advise as to whether I need to raise this as a new bug, given that this ticket thinks it's been fixed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157497 Title: New windows stack up in top left corner To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/metacity/+bug/157497/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I applied a patch based on http://chad.glendenin.com/metacity/2.12/metacity-2.12-placement.patch to Debian's metacity package v.2.20.2-1 . I think it works fine for now, even though I didn't review the code if it works correctly, just made it compile.

Yes, I too went looking for a patch and found that same one, and am using it right now on my system (using the random placement mode :) I contacted the author about updating the patch and implementing a better cascaded window placement, like he mentioned in the website, and he responded he would look into it.

Yes, I'm on a Feisty-Gutsy upgrade system aswell. Any hints on where this bug is happening (which setting)? It's as if the default smart metacity window placement (tile without overlap behaviour) has gone stupid (throw all on top-left corner) :S It is REALLY annoying. Opening multiple terminals (for example) makes them all appear on top of each other (top-left corner), forcing me to move each new window to another place so I can see the previous one ... -- New windows stack up in top left corner https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157497 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

this appeared for me after feisty-gutsy upgrade. no desktop effects. most (presumably those that aren't specified a position by the app) windows that don't fit into empty space, appear at top left instead of in a cascade as before. also happens with a newly created test user. -- New windows stack up in top left corner https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157497 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
