Package: xfwm4 Version: 4.3.90.2-2 Severity: wishlist I apologize for the length of this bugreport, but I strongly feel that the new xfwm4 maximization behavior is very stupid.
Prior to the 4.3.90.2-2 upgrade, I was using xfwm4 4.3.90.1-1 . The 4.3.90.1-1 behavior, which I strongly prefer, is as follows: I start a terminal. I hit the "Maximise window horizontally" keybinding and the terminal takes up the width of the screen. I then hit the "Maximise window vertically" keybinding and the window takes up both the width and the height of the screen (the window is effectively "maximized") The current behavior, which I dislike for reasons I'll outline below is as follows: I start a terminal. I hit the "Maximise window horizontally" keybinding and the terminal takes up the width of the screen. I then hit the "Maximise window vertically" keybinding and the window reverts to its original size. When I hit the "Maximise window vertically" keybinding again, it then takes up the height of the screen, but has its original, non-maximized width. In order to end up with the window completely maximized, I have to hit any of the "Maximise..." keybindings once, at which point the window will return to its original size, and then hit the "Maximise window" keybinding, at which point it will expand to fill the screen. I considerably dislike the new behavior because if, as often happens, I have a full-width, normal-height window and need to quickly look at something longer than the 24 lines of the terminal height, I have to either resize the window manually or hit two separate keybindings, followed by two separate keybindings when I want the window to go back to the size I was using before I needed it to be tall. Before, I could just hit one keybinding, look at what I needed to in the tall window, then hit the same keybinding to get back to the original height (without loosing any width throughout the entire process). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17.6 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages xfwm4 depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.12.1-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.6-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.4-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-5.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.10.2-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.17-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpango1.0-0 1.12.3-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5.1 PNG library - runtime ii libsm6 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Session Management ii libstartup-notification0 0.8-1 library for program launch feedbac ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-6 X11 client-side library ii libxcomposite1 1:0.2.2.2-3 X11 Composite extension library ii libxcursor1 1.1.5.2-5 X cursor management library ii libxdamage1 1:1.0.2.2-3 X11 damaged region extension libra ii libxext6 1:1.0.0-4 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfce4mcs-client3 4.3.90.2-1 Client library for Xfce4 configure ii libxfce4mcs-manager3 4.3.90.2-1 Manager library for Xfce4 configur ii libxfce4util4 4.3.90.2-2 Utility functions library for Xfce ii libxfcegui4-4 4.3.90.2-1 Basic GUI C functions for Xfce4 ii libxfixes3 1:3.0.1.2-4 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 1:1.0.0-5 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxrandr2 2:1.1.0.2-4 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.0.2-4 X Rendering Extension client libra ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-11 compression library - runtime Versions of packages xfwm4 recommends: ii xfce4-mcs-manager 4.3.90.2-1 Settings manager for Xfce4 ii xfwm4-themes 4.3.90.1-2 Theme files for xfwm4 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
