GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 563757
gnome-panel will hide each other and other windows in dual-screen
Last modified: 2009-06-18 08:02:59 UTC
Please describe the problem: Not sure if it is really dual-screen related, maybe just a resolution issue ? Anyway : setting my laptop to use a virtual screen of 1440x1924 with two monitors (non-cloned and via xorg.conf) will prevent the use of several panels in the same side. I mean, each new panel will superimposed to the previous ones and hide them instead of snatching to them. In addition, they will also hide whatever is behind : other windows won't snatch either. Steps to reproduce: 1. Set xorg.conf to use a large virtual screen in non-cloned dual-screen mode. 2. Add several panels. 3. Enjoy — or not. Actual results: New gnome-panels will hide everything else. Expected results: New gnome-panels should snatch between them and with other windows. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information:
Update : no overlap if I try on my laptop without the dock. Not sure if this is due to the single screen or to a recent update.
Comment (9) by Rona Dini Hari on bug 146914 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=146914#c9) : I've tried creating 10 panels, they do not overlap. They do show shadows like they are regular windows while they shouldn't. It shouldn't play with z axis like that. But they don't overlap on my gnome.
Can you please post a screenshot, plus the output of "xrandr -q"?
