After switching resolution (RANDR), workspace switcher shows incorrect desktop size
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Workspace switcher clips desktops to wrong size after changing desktop size with gnome-display-properties and new login: - Set display size to something different with gnome-display-properties (for example, 800x600) - Logoff and login - Set display size to normal (for example, 1400x1050 in my case) - The switcher does not use the new size, but clips desktop size to 800x600, even after restarting the panel and applet (did not try logout) Symptoms after the size change: - Old desktop size is used in workspace switcher - If a window is moved outside the old workspace size (to coordinates like 900x200 in above example), workspace switcher renders totally incorrect page - Restarting panel does not help, I don't know where this size is received from To see examples of this bug, see directory http://hile.dyndns.org/panel-bug/. - before.png shows how the window on 5th desktop is on the edge of switcher window, but in reality it fills half of the desktop. - after.png shows how the whole switcher is garbled, when the window is moved 'out' from it's display area.
