[ Chris Townsend ]
* Only ungrab the Mod2Mask modifier on buttons 4-7 to allow scrolling
in unfocused Gtk windows while still allowing keybinding modifiers
to other scroll wheel actions. (LP: #1311788)
* Fix issue where window decorations would be placed under the Panel
when opening a new window from an already open window. This is due
to the already open window being taller or just as tall without be
maximized than the workspace. (LP: #1303462)
* Only constrain the non-modifier scrolling to the vertical scrolling
buttons - buttons 4 & 5. (LP: #1311303)
* Fix issue where maximized windows would get moved to different
workspaces when disconnecting/connecting an external monitor.
Windows should stay in the same workspace they are in when the
monitor event occurs. (LP: #1304531)
* Fix issue where custom keyboard shortcuts would get reset to
defaults when rebooting or restarting Compiz. (LP: #1063617)
* Fixes issue in the Expo plugin where a gap is shown in the place
where the Launcher and Panel should be when windows are maximized.
This was originally removed in rev. 3481. (LP: #1087090)
* Fix issue where horizontal and vertical keyboard resizing could not
happen at the same time. (LP: #347390)
[ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
* Scale: use XShape extension to exclude dnd input in the screen-parts
outside workArea This will work property also in multi-monitor,
without requiring multiple X windows for each output device. Also
don't terminate the scale unless a drag-n-drop action is not really
over. Add a spinner that shows up over a window, during the DnD
timeout. Plus, make sure we terminate the scale without focusing the
selected icon when cancelling it and some code cleanup (LP: #607796)
* Event: set the screen grabbed also when we get a NotifyWhileGrabbed
Focus{In,Out} event (LP: #1305586)

Title:
[Regression] Window titlebars placed behind panel
Status in Compiz:
In Progress
Status in Unity:
Invalid
Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “compiz” source package in Trusty:
Confirmed
Bug description:
[Impact]
Some windows that open from within another window such as a Firefox
popup window will be placed with the decorations under the Panel.
Also, some windows will just open with the decoration under the Panel
such as virt-manager. This can cause confusion for the user on how to
move the window and how to close it. This can be very disruptive to a
user's workflow.
[Test case]
1. Install virt-manager.
2. Make sure no other windows are open.
3. Start virt-manager.
virt-manager should start in the top left. With this fix, the
decoration should be visible.
[Regression potential]
None identified.
Original description:
Windows with a height of (Display Height - Panel Height) get placed at y=0
(behind the top panel)
which means window titlebars are not reachable without alt-moving the window.
I assume this happens with windows that want to resize themselves if their
height exceeds the display resolution.
Reproducable on my 1366x768 screen with LibreOffice and a Qt 5 desktop
application I'm working on.
TEMPORARY WORKAROUND:
Use the Cntrl+SuperKey+Right or Left Arrow Key
This will resize your currently focused window to occupy the Right (Left)
half of the screen. The Title Bar should now be visible, so you need to drag it
and resize it at your prefered position. This will save the new position in
place of the previously hidden state.
