Title: Removing an external monitor will move a maximized window to the current workspace Status in Compiz: Fix Committed Status in Compiz 0.9.11 series: In Progress Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “compiz” source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] Many users tend to have maximized window opened on other workspaces and use an external monitor such as a projector or one connected to a laptop docking station. When removing this monitor, these maximized windows will get shuffled to the current workspace. This can be aggravating for users and is not a good user experience. [Test case] 1. Have an external monitor. 2. Use multiple workspaces. 3. Open a window and maximize it on a workspace such as workspace 2. 4. Move to another workspace such as workspace 3. 5. Remove the external monitor. [Regression potential] The code here is quite fragile and can be prone to some unexpected behaviors. I took great care in trying to make sure no new regressions are caused by this fix, but there may be some corner case that is unaccounted for. Also note that there are already some broken behaviors in this area that are unfixed by this code, so keep that in mind when testing that it truly isn't a regression. * Debdiff is found at https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1303462/+attachment/4134214/+files /compiz-trusty-sru.debdiff * Original Description: Removing an external monitor when using multiple workspaces will cause maximized windows on other workspaces to move to the current workspace. Scenario: 1. Have an external monitor. 2. Use multiple workspaces. 3. Open a window and maximize it on a workspace such as workspace 2. 4. Move to another workspace such as workspace 3. 5. Remove the external monitor. Expected behavior: Maximized window will remain on the workspace it was opened on. Observed behavior: Maximized window moves to the current workspace To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1304531/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
