Bug ID: 411094
Summary: New windows on the secondary display incorrectly
maximized to height of the primary display
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.16.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Multi-screen support
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
I have a dual monitor setup, where the primary display has a greater resolution
(1920×1200) than the secondary display (1680×1050). Both displays have panels
of the same height fixed to the bottom of the screen edge. When an application
creates a new, vertically maximized window on the secondary display, its height
is exactly as tall as the vertical resolution of the first display less the
height of the panel. But of course this is too high for the entire window to
display properly on the secondary display, so the bottom of the window ends up
being partially covered by the panel and partially off the screen altogether.
This problem occurs only with newly created windows. If I manually vertically
maximize such an oversized window (or any other window), then it snaps to the
correct height (i.e., the height of the secondary display less the height of
the panel).
This problem is similar (but not quite the same) as that reported in Bug
348043. In that bug, the problem occurs when manually maximizing a window,
whereas in this one, it occurs only when a (vertically) maximized window first
appears.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start with a dual-monitor setup where the primary display has a greater
vertical resolution than the secondary display, and both screens have panels.
2. Launch an application on the second display whose window is vertically
maximized by default (e.g., okular)
OBSERVED RESULT
3. The application window is too high (i.e., vertically maximized as if it were
intended for placement on the primary display)
EXPECTED RESULT
3. The application window should fit the height of the secondary display less
the height of its panel
