** Summary changed:
- FF3.0.5 overwrites Ubuntu menubar
+ Truncated desktop/app display in Intrepid
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
+ After login, desktop icons are forced into the top 2/3 of the screen. On
open of any application, Firefox, Gedit, etc, the screen is maximized, but only
fills 2/3 of the screen. Minimize/re-maximize has no effect.
- On open in Intrepid, FF fills entire screen, blocking out Ubuntu menu bar
(top) and the status bar (bottom), but still showing it's own menu and the
bookmarks toolbar. An F11 switches it to true fullscreen, then a second F11
displays FF as it should, with Intrepid menu bar redisplayed, Firefox w/menu
and toolsbar, and status bar below.
+ Valid workarounds include logging out and back in, or changing the
+ refresh rate on the screen resolution from 60 to 70 and back again. Fix
+ only holds up until the next reboot.
- Also, Help/About achieves similar behavior, but w/o the FF menu bar
- showing, and the Intrepid menu/status bar restored. When you click on
- the placeholder in the status bar, you have options to minimize or
- unmaximize. When you minimize and maximize again, you're back where you
- started, with the Intrepid menu gone and the status bar gone.
- Unmaximize has no effect.
+ System is dual-core Asus/Athlon Pentium 64, Monitor is 17" Sceptre CRT.
- System is AMD Athlon with onboard video. Monitor is 17", 1024
- resolution. Intrepid is up to date on patches.
