Public bug reported: This applies to my 11.10 with the latest proposed updates as of 22/12/2011
In the "Expo" view for the viewport switcher of Compiz (desktop wall display) you can drag windows via mouse to different viewports. When moving the mouse to the edges of the screen while "holding" a window the orange resize overlay box is displayed. This will work for the left and right edges and place the dragged window in either half of the selected new workspace. It will not work for the top edge of the screen to maximize the window. The workspaces are selected when the mouse moves over the representation in the desktop wall. I use 6 workspaces in 3x2 columns so the window will only resize on either the first, third, fourth or sixth workspace (since those are the left or rightmost workspaces in the top / bottom column). Either the resize overlay should not be displayed at all while desktop wall is displayed or have some consistent functionality that I can actively select ANY desired workspace and place a properly resized window on it (this includes the now non-functional maximize). ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/907572 Title: Resize shadow shows in Compiz Viewport switcher but is inconsistent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/907572/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
