GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 350353
Make constraints avoid xinerama void areas
Last modified: 2020-11-06 20:09:06 UTC
I'm spinning this off from Rob's comments in bug 349613: Note that there is still an issue with window constraints and void areas that we should probably fix sometime (basically void areas need to count as offscreen in offscreen constraints). Not sure if there's already a bug about that. I think that adding a special strut for the area would fix almost everything; the only other special thing we might need to check for is making sure the maximized windows get the right size (if they don't already...).

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/metacity/-/issues/ Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
