GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 341879
Problem dragging full-screen windows between monitors.
Last modified: 2006-05-15 18:01:21 UTC
Please describe the problem: In a previous version of metacity (not sure which one it was), click-and-hold on the title bar of a full-screen window followed by dragging to the top of another screen would move the window between screens. It doesn't in 2.14; instead, the window vibrates and resizes rapidly but stays on its own screen. Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to a system with at least 2 monitors, with Xinerama. 2. Create a full-screen window. 3. Click and hold the title bar of the window, and drag to the top of another screen. Actual results: The window vibrates and resizes rapidly. Expected results: The window becomes full-screen on the other screen. Does this happen every time? It does not always vibrate and resize, but it never moves to the other screen. Other information: This bug is easily worked around by other dragging behavior in Metacity: first drag down, causing the window to lose full-screen status, then drag to the other screen, then drag to the top, restoring full-screen status.
