Description Mark Draheim 2003-07-15 20:06:16 UTC
metacity-2.5.2 on mandrake cooker (9.2) 
 
Description of Problem: 
Moving windows up offscreen with Alt+LMB should 
at least work for too large windows. 
 
Steps to reproduce the problem: 
1. use low resolution (=< 800x600) 
2. open any app that produces a window larger 
than that (eg galeon preferences) 
3. try to move the window up with Alt+LMB 
 
Actual Results: 
upper desktop border impenetrable 
 
Expected Results: 
it should at least be possible to move the 
window up offscreen until lower window border is 
visible. 
 
 
Additional Information: 
 
As I understand this 
 
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2002-October/msg00281.html 
 
the current behaviour qualifies as a bug. 
 
However, I'd like to add a feature request to 
that. Right now I'm disabling the topborder 
constraint by patching the sources (basically 
just making the addition a substraction for 
nw_y). I'd love to have a runtime switch to 
disable the default behaviour. Since I 
understand that this wouldn't be easy to 
implement, it would be great to have a configure 
option to select behaviour before compiling.
