[Desktop-packages] [Bug 360970] Re: Multi-monitor - When using two displays with different vertical resolution, icons get lost on the shorter display

2020-07-04 Thread Andrew

This bug is in 20.04 lts for me. Using Dell Precision with USB-C and
HDMI and Quadro T2000/PCIe/SSE2 / Quadro T2000/PCIe/SSE2 Display cards

Under settings, if I attach the external, the scalling goes out of wack.
Laptop screen scalling changes zooms out, while the external screen
scale zooms completely in. It's as if the adjustment is managing the
wrong screen. Even if I try scalling the external screen, the laptop
screen is impacted. Gotten to the point where I cannot use the external
screens. You know how it is with coding, really great to have external
screens to move stuff too. It's exactly like this

Not sure it's related to nautilus, but you'd probably know better. It's
as if the usb-c and hdmi ports are not getting the right signals. Also
HDMI and USB-C can cause the OS to hang if I pull it in and out quickly.

That area of 20.04 screen management setting is quite buggie for me.
Hope you're able to address it soon as I really miss my external
monitors.

Bug description:
On a Multi-Monitor setup, where the extended desktop is non-
rectangular in shape (ie. the displays are of a different resolution,
and their top/bottom/left/right edges are not aligned), desktop icons
are placed in non-accessible areas when arranged using the menu option
'View-Organise Desktop by Name' from the Desktop.

See the attached image. The top three desktop items are not
accessible, and can only be seen in the Workspace Switcher.

Please also refer to the 'Non-Rectangular Extended Desktops' section of the
Multi-Monitor spec:

[Test Case]
1. Set up two monitors side by side
2. Set left monitor to a smaller vertical resolution than the right monitor
3. for i in $(seq 1 50) ; do touch file-${i} ; done
4. Right click on desktop to bring up context menu, then 'Organize Desktop by
Name'
5. Should be: All icons from file-1 to file-50 (or as many fit on the screen)
should be visible
Is: Icons for files at the top and/or bottom of the arranged columns are
not visible on any display
6. xrandr --output LVDS1 --off
7. Verify icons are arranged properly on the external monitor
8. Set up monitors one over the other
9. Verify icons are displayed in long columns spanning both displays with all
icons shown
