GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 161239
Double-clicking to maximize/unmaximize a window in wireframe mode leaves trails.
Last modified: 2006-02-06 21:40:32 UTC
1. Using gconf-editor, set /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources to TRUE. 2. Double-click on the titlebar of a window so that the window is now maximized. Bug: Window is maximized but leaves trails on the desktop. Note: This bug is not seen when clicked on the maximize/unmaximize button or selecting maximize/unmaximize from the window context-menu.

Havoc/Rob: The wireframe feature seems to not affect (improve) maximize/unmaximize. (please do correct if i am missing something). Have attached a patch which does not do wireframe when user double clicks on the frame. Wondering if this patch would be acceptable ?

Comment on attachment 35776 [details] [review] proposed patch The patch should be a bit different, here is the line to change: display->grab_wireframe_active = meta_prefs_get_reduced_resources () && (meta_grab_op_is_resizing (display->grab_op) || meta_grab_op_is_moving (display->grab_op)); On ungrab you shouldn't need to change anything, since grab_wireframe_active will be accurate. I guess you're right that wireframe is pretty pointless if just maximizing. However, it's possible to click-release-click and then move the window, I believe. So this patch may not really work.

This appears to be one of many other circumstances under which the wireframe can leave trails--see bug 156543.
I'm going to mark as a duplicate of bug 156543 to consolidate these bugs. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 156543 ***
