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.. ** Affects: meta-gnome2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Workspaces aren't consistent with resolution changes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/255186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to meta-gnome2 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
