Description shandy 2002-12-14 16:59:16 UTC 
Description of Problem:
Gnome 2, RedHat 8.0 with all the updates.
Screenshot: http://sjbrown.ezide.com/Screenshot.png

If you have a little edge panel at the top of the
screen, no windows can move above the bottom of
the panel, even when they're not touching it.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Make a little edge panel
2. Put it at the top of the screen (horizontally
aligned)
3. No windows or nautilus icons can be placed
above the 48 pixel mark on the WHOLE desktop
4. You lose approx 48*1280 pixels of desktop space.

Actual Results:
No windows can be placed above bottom of edge panel.

Expected Results:
let me put my windows and panels where I want them.

How often does this happen? 
always

WHOOPS.  That should be corner panel, not Edge panel
Comment 2 Alex Duggan 2002-12-14 21:46:38 UTC 
This was done by design, see the discussion on bug 83647
Comment 3 shandy 2002-12-14 21:58:15 UTC 
after a quick view, I think this is a duplicate of bug 86682.
But I don't think it was done "by design", as Havoc says:

"you probably (?) want maximize to avoid the corner panels, but 
don't want moving windows to avoid them... or maybe corner panels
should just be on the bottom instead of the top, and not set any strut
at all?"

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 86682 ***

It's not by design, just haven't figured out exactly how it should
work yet. Thanks for finding the dup.
