Title:
Gnome 3 fullscreen doesn't work for some applications
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Using Gnome 3 or Ubuntu session (default in 18.04) when you try to run
some game in fullscreen mode instead it opens at top left small
window. This happens for example for Way to Go! Steam game and perhaps
any SDL 1 game. It's easy to reproduce, install a game using SDL 1
library for example abe (apt install abe) and try to run it. There are
two kinds of effect, the abe and perhaps other games from Ubuntu
repository fails to run properly fullscreen only on first use after
login. On second and further run they launch properly on fullscreen.
The Steam game (Way to Go !) fails to run fullscreen each time.
Sometimes you see only part of the game screen at top left window and
you even can't operate it, sometimes whole screen is shown. When you
manage to reach game settings switching fullscreen on and off few
times makes the fullscreen run properly. The problem doesn't exist for
example using Unity or Windowmaker sessions. It exists using any Gnome
3 Xorg sessions, even the classic one.
