GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 436537
clicking in upper right corner closes window in background - very unexpected
Last modified: 2020-11-06 20:05:13 UTC
Steps: 1. have a window A maximized and another window B not maximized. Move B in the upper corner. Activate B so that it is above A. 2. throw the mouse in the upper right corner and left click Actual behaviour: window A is closed Expected behaviour: window B is closed i.e. extend the area of windows so that it includes the corner pixel not only for maximized windows but also for windows two edges of which are adjacent with two of the screen borders
I meant "move B in the upper *right* corner".
Does it happen with "no rounded corners" theme?
No, with a square corners theme I get the resize cursor.

I can confirm this bug and it effects me quite often during the day. It appears to be related to the Double clicking of the title bar and how the second ButtonRelease event is handled. Steps to reproduce: Open a window which is not maximised and then double click its titlebar to maximise it. Open a second window which is already maximised (I use browser in the example). Click Close button on the top Browser window. Expected outcome: Browser window should close. Actual outcome: The window behind is closed. I made some notes which includes links to videos showing the bug in action. http://liqbase.net/metacity_bug_436537/ubuntu_gnome_metacity_closebutton_fail.htm http://liqbase.net/metacity_bug_436537/20100825_001_open.gedit.normal_double.click.title_open.brower.already.FS_click.close_fail.mp4 http://liqbase.net/metacity_bug_436537/20100825_002_open.gedit.fullscreen_open.brower.already.FS_click.close_ok.mp4 http://liqbase.net/metacity_bug_436537/20100825_003_open.gedit.normal_click.maximise_open.brower.already.FS_click.close_ok.mp4
