GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 123165
Maximize Not Full-Screen
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Description of Problem: Depending upon where a window is located on-screen, the maximize feature doesn't seem to be working properly. Problem described briefly and verified at http://www.dropline.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1512 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open any window (such as the epiphany browser), resize it so that it is very small. 2. Move the window to the right-hand side of the screen. 3. Hit the maximize button Actual Results: The window maximizes, but doesn't occupy the entire screen. It leaves about 10% of the right-side of the screen visible. Sometimes leaves half the screen visible. Depends on where the window was when you hit maximize. Expected Results: Expect window to fully-maximize. How often does this happen? Every time. Additional Information: This is in the Gnome 2.4 build by Dropline.
confirmed. And it's freaking the hell out of me. You know what I bet this is caused by the resize then move thing, because the work areas are being computed correctly according to my log. We ought to go ahead an go back to move then resize.
this is fixed in CVS and will be in the upcoming Gnome 2.4.1 release shortly after Oct 13 or thereabouts.
