GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 512742
Metacity places all new maximised top-level windows on left-most monitor
Last modified: 2014-06-08 14:13:56 UTC
Please describe the problem: I have a xinerama with two monitors. Both are 1280x1024, my primary monitor on the right and a second head directly to the left. When I start a new application that starts maximised, with my mouse cursor on the primary monitor, it momentarily appears on the primary monitor, then 'warps' to the second monitor. Steps to reproduce: 1. Setup monitors as described above 2. Start totem and maximise it on the primary (right) monitor 3. Close totem 4. Re-open totem with the mouse-cursor on the primary monitor Actual results: Totem appears on the primary/right monitor, briefly, then suddenly moves to the left-most monitor. Expected results: I would expect totem to stay on the monitor with the mouse cursor, or at least not just randomly switch monitor Does this happen every time? Yes, and happens with other applications too (Evolution, Firefox..) Other information: Maybe this has something to do with how the application restores its state, as it doesn't seem to affect devhelp. Nevertheless, I'm sure this didn't use to happen.
This may be a duplicate of #504692, but I'm not sure.
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
