GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 651907
Correct the snapping boundaries for multi-monitor set-ups
Last modified: 2011-06-05 11:37:27 UTC
When using a secondary monitor with my laptop, I position the secondary monitor to be above the built-in primary monitor and share a common right edge. The primary monitor still has all four sides as snappable, but the upper monitor behaves oddly: - Windows on the upper screen cannot have their left edge moved beyond an invisible boundary to the left of my bottom screen's left edge. There is still plenty of room. - Windows can be resized to fill more of the upper monitor by dragging the bottom-right corner. - A window resized by the upper-left corner cannot move its left edge beyond the "boundary": the window shrinks from the right edge in, which is unexpected. From this, I assume that the left edge of my primary monitor is being extended upwards onto the upper monitor. The WM treats this boundary as a screen edge for the upper monitor, even though it is only a boundary for the lower monitor. The lower monitor behaves as expected.
Created attachment 189253 [details] Screenshot of multi-monitor layout I can move windows freely about in the lower monitor's space, but Firefox (or any other app on the upper monitor) cannot move any further to the right. It is constrained by its left edge.
