[Bug 877012] Re: [panel] on a multi monitor setup the panel length appears to be calculated with the screen in focus at the time of execution
All, Sorry to reopen this bug but it still exists in precise. I've attached a simplified patch that has sorted out the issue for me. It's not for inclusion but it's probably good for a quick lead on what a good solution would be. Also this handles both the initial geometry calculation when the panel is instantiated and also the situation when either screen sees a resolution change. I had not mentioned the second part of the problem before. ** Patch added: "add slot resize to update the geometry" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/877012/+attachment/3240484/+files/use_screen.patch ** Changed in: unity-2d (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877012 Title: [panel] on a multi monitor setup the panel length appears to be calculated with the screen in focus at the time of execution To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/877012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Buttari, 5.2.0 is very old. More recent builds should have the initial problem fixed, not sure about your other issue, never experienced it. Buttari, I assume you're on 11.10?

[Bug 877012] Re: [panel] on a multi monitor setup the panel length appears to be calculated with the screen in focus at the time of execution
Hello, I am actually seeing this problem. I am running unity-2d from the PPA (version 5.2.0+bzr878ubuntu0+inline). The problem is not just on the panel. If I plug my laptop (screen resolution 1440x900) on the docking station (screen resolution 1680x1050), turn off the laptop screen and turn on the external monitor here's what happens: 1) the external monitor resolution is ok 2) the panel length on the external monitor is 1440 3) the wallpaper size on the external monitor is still of size 1440x900 and the empty space is filled up by tiling the wallpaper image 4) when I move windows around it seems like the size of the desktop is equal to the sum of the external and the laptop screen even if the laptop screen is off. The only way to fix this is to restart X. When I plug the laptop off the docking station things go pretty much the other way around I hope I managed to explain the problem clearly. I didn't have these problem with the standard (non PPA) unity-2d version. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877012 Title: [panel] on a multi monitor setup the panel length appears to be calculated with the screen in focus at the time of execution To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/877012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think I spoke too soon when I said that a recent update had addressed this issue for me.

I just encountered the same problem. When running an Xmonad/Gnome session with unity-2d-panel, the panel would not choose the correct width on a multi-display system. Using the branch lp:~mardy/unity- 2d/geometry/ fixed the issue for me.

[Bug 877012] Re: [panel] on a multi monitor setup the panel length appears to be calculated with the screen in focus at the time of execution
Gerry, Screen resolutions when plugged in are 1920x1200 and 1600x900. As for the compositing manager I'm relatively sure I don't have one running. All the notify-osd popups lack transparency of any kind and I'm using xmonad as my window manager, but I'm far from certain. I wonder if there's something special about the way the call to screenGeometery works when used in Xmonad as opposed to metacity that might be causing it. Maybe it's reporting the widget location incorrectly because in Xmonad it's instantiated in the focused screen as with all xmonad windows/apps. When installing the dev QT packages (which I believe were a cmake dep) do they include the debug symbols so I can step into screenGeometery? I tried that briefly but didn't get very far, but I'm unskilled with gdb.

[Bug 877012] Re: [panel] on a multi monitor setup the panel length appears to be calculated with the screen in focus at the time of execution
One additional note with regards to the attached patch. On screen resize
it will resize based on the original screen which is only bad if the
panel changes screens (I'm not clear if this is a normal use case). It
appears, just from the looking at the source that
Unity2dPanel::slotWorkAreaResized(int screen) is meant to handle this
case and since the screen is passed as an argument and alteration like:
void Unity2dPanel::slotWorkAreaResized(int screen)
{
if (x11Info().screen() == screen) {
d->m_screen = screen; // addition
d->updateEdge();
}
}
may well work. On my desktop I can't seem to get that signal to fire
though so I'm having a hard time testing it. Sorry for the incomplete
implementation in the original patch.

Attached is a working patch for this issue which assigns a screen value to the instantiated Unity2dPanel which is then used to determine the panel's geometry in place of the widget itself. A few notes: 1. this patch was created against a clean branch from lp:ubuntu/oneiric/unity-2d, so I'm not clear if it will apply cleanly to the latest precise branch/dev. I'm happy to look into it. 2. the default value for m_screen might be better as -1 since the QT docs suggest that the screenGeometry will default in that case ( http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qdesktopwidget.html#screenGeometry ) 3. it's only been tested on my desktop setup and not the desktop environment this will most likely be run under ( gnome fallback? ) I've done my best to adhear to the coding guidelines I found in the repository, but any and all feedback is welcome/greatly appreciated. ** Patch added: "use_screen.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/877012/+attachment/2559505/+files/use_screen.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877012 Title: [panel] on a multi monitor setup the panel length appears to be calculated with the screen in focus at the time of execution To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/877012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
