[Bug 1786579] Re: If I change inputs or turn off my TV, my windows will change positions
That said, if you maximize a window then there is a reasonable argument that the status of "maximized" should stay true no matter the resolution of the output, and especially since they are so similar in resolution. It's a matter of opinion as to whether a maximized window should retain its maximized status when it's also forced to resize to fit the new resolution. So... 1. Please report the bug to the Gnome people and see what they say. If they agree to keep it open then we will too: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues 2. As a workaround, try: (a) Keeping the window smaller; or (b) Keeping the window full screen (F11); or (c) Simulate the Nvidia case by logging into "Ubuntu" instead of "Ubuntu on Wayland". ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1786579 Title: If I change inputs or turn off my TV, my windows will change positions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1786579/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

If you think so. But I will say this sort of thing does not happen under Windows with the same TV/receiver, and on the same machine/TV/receiver when I was running an Nvidia card with the Nvidia proprietary drivers, it didn't do it either. Something strange must be happening here, and I opened the bug report because I lack the expertise to figure out what the deal is. I would suggest against assuming that this is desired behavior without trying to replicate it. But it's up to you. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1786579 Title: If I change inputs or turn off my TV, my windows will change positions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1786579/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1786579] Re: If I change inputs or turn off my TV, my windows will change positions
I think this is correct and not a bug. Windows will always move/resize when the monitor they were on changes. So you would need to find a hardware setup where the computer never detects the "monitor" is changing. It does sound like the receiver is advertising a different resolution to your TV, so effectively the computer sees that as a change in monitor every time you switch. As a workaround you might find keeping the window smaller, or at least not maximized, will work. But I don't think this is a bug. The computer seems to be doing the right thing for when the connected display attributes change. ** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1786579 Title: If I change inputs or turn off my TV, my windows will change positions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1786579/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
