Description Alex Hultman 2013-03-21 09:37:31 UTC
I see you have done some work to provide Wayland-like window resizing in 3.8. Works good for most windows but some cases have artifacts:

* Resizing a window (Files app for example) has content synced to the frame when dragging an edge or corner but not when maximizing or snapping to the edge of the screen. It's the same old MS-Windows-glitch for maximize and snap.

* Web app is not syncing it's WebKit widget to the frame. It behaves strangely and leaves room for a non-existing scroll bar when shrinking.

* System monitor app is not synced either.

Other apps have perfect sync-to-frame which is pleasing to the eye just like Wayland and Mac OS X quality graphics.

Note that the widgets not syncing properly seems to be webkit and tabs, maybe some rendering issues for those widgets? I have no idea, it can also be a Mutter issue but some apps sync and some don't so I don't think so?
Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2013-03-21 14:06:48 UTC
This is three separate bugs, can you file them that way?

 - One against Mutter for the maximize/snap issue. (Known to me, but not in Bugzilla. Mentioned toward the end of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694046#c3)

 - One against epiphany

 - One against gnome-system-monitor

Applications can do things that might defeat synced resizing, like drawing outside of a ::draw handler - fixing webkit-gtk is likely quite hard, but gnome-system-monitor is probably easy.
Comment 3 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 14:21:00 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
