GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 644419
Alt-tab pop-up is broken in multihead configuration.
Last modified: 2011-03-16 19:05:14 UTC
On dual-display configuration, Laptop + External monitor, if the external monitor is set to be the main screen (with panel), a broken popup appears on alt-tab. Screenshot should help explain. Also the laptop display is the one "left", and the popup does not appear in the middle of the external display, so there could be a misplacement of some graphics. This is just a guess though. Single screen, or with laptop being main, there is no problem. gnome-shell version: 2.91.91
Can you attach a screenshot?
Created attachment 183322 [details] Screenshot of the broken popup Sorry, I have forgotten to submit it on reporting.
What's your graphics hardware?
It's Intel GMA HD Integrated Graphics. Here is my complete HW profile http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_a64408ed-c828-4305-95f5-bfbae42dce11
Maybe this is bug 644206 which was fixed after 2.91.91? http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/commit/?id=3944df1bd24b7295180d33dba9ee7d531c1dddd4
See also the Fedora bug report, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644419 with nVidia Quadro NVS 290: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_04eb447a-d09f-4dc4-9b4a-3b7dd87db43c That commit looks reasonable, I'll try rebuilding with it applied and see if that helps.
Tested the patch, and yes, I can confirm that it fixes the issue. When will 2.91.92 be released? If it's not imminent (e.g. by this weekend) I'll probably build an official Fedora update for this
