Public bug reported:
*Steps to reproduce:*
I am not sure about the exact conditions for this, and the behavior is not 100%
consistent.
So I am just going to summarize how this usually happens for me.
Currently this is reported as a bug in mate-terminal, because this is
what I clicked on when I did the bug report with ubuntu-bug -w.
I run a triple monitor setup:
- A: Laptop (Dell XPS 13), full HD.
- B, C: Two full HD external monitors, connected via HDMI, via a USB-C Hub.
Perhaps it is enough to test this on two monitors instead of three.
Currently I have "Undecorate maximized windows" enabled in MATE Tweak, but I
remember it happened without that before.
(I use that to get rid of the title bar in Brave browser. Doing this in the
application itself was causing problems)
I have a full-screen application on monitor B.
Currently this is PhpStorm, previously the same happend with Brave browser.
I have another full-screen application on monitor C.
Currently this is Brave browser.
I open a non-maximized window on top, and move it to the edge so that it
overlaps with multiple monitors (most importantly B and C).
Often this is a terminal, but currently it is the "MATE Tweak" config window /
dialog.
should be displayed behind the maximized window on monitor C, but in front of
the maximized window on B.
I focus the non-maximized window (e.g. terminal).
Then I focus the maximized window on monitor C.
*What I expect to happen*
When I focus the non-maximized window, that window is displayed on top of all
others.
When I focus the maximized window on monitor C, the non-maximized window (e.g.
terminal) should be displayed behind the maximized window on monitor C, but in
front of the maximized window on B.
*What happens instead, v1*
When I focus the non-maximized window, that window is displayed on top of all
others -> good.
When I focus the maximized window on monitor C, the maximized window on monitor
B also jumps to the front, so the non-maximized window (e.g. terminal) gets
hidden behind.
*What happens instead, v2*
When I focus the non-maximized window, it appears in the front on monitor C,
but it disappears behind the maximized window on monitor B, even if that window
does not have focus.
*Additional info*
Overall I find the behavior with multiple monitors buggy. The system seems to
get confused every time I connect or disconnect external monitors. But this is
a problem for another day.
