Gnome Panel Dual monitor setup (Window hides below panel when maximized)
Last modified: 2020-11-06 20:19:45 UTC
While using dual monitor setup, I have two panels setup at the bottom of the same screen. One of them(bottom panel) is fixed and the other panel has hide buttons enabled. Now whenever I maximize a window (eg. gnome-terminal), the bottom of that window is hidden below the panel (second panel from bottom). How do I make sure that a window is never hidden under a panel when maximized? Thanks for your help. Details: Fedora 11 (x86_64) gnome-panel (2.26.3-1) Dual monitors (1400x1050 Thinkpad T60 + 1280x1024 Dell Monitor)
I can confirm that. However for me this only happens with a dual (or more) monitor setup where one of the monitors is below the other. I do not know of a workaround except for placing the monitors side-by-side. Nevertheless a bugfix would be welcome. Gnome 2.30.2 Gentoo Linux
Note that this happens in horizontal configurations as well, if the gnome panel is a left or right-aligned panel. The requirement is that the panel be on the same screen edge as another monitor.
