GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 728617
Can't move window offscreen
Last modified: 2014-04-22 14:54:09 UTC
I can't find a way how to move window over top corner of the screen. With cursor it will maximize window... with `M-Space m` shortcut it won't move window over the main toolbar. This limits/disables use of applications that must have bigger size that screen resolution or must run inside other window (Wine).
Due to a bug, selecting the Move item from the window menu behaves differently from its proper accelerator, Alt+F7, which will allow you to move the window off-screen. You can also use Super+Left-mouse-click to move the window as well.
Created attachment 274829 [details] [review] window: Make the Move / Resize window menu items behave like the keybind The Alt+F7 and Alt+F8 keybinds for moving and resizing windows allow you to move and resize the window off the screen, so allow the same for the menu items as well, since they're marked with the same accelerator.
Thank you very much - `M-F7` works.
Review of attachment 274829 [details] [review]: I guess it could be argued that using the menu entry is a "frame_action" since the menu is usually accessed from the frame. But since that's not always true given the menu keybinding and, as you point out, it's inconsistent with what the menu labels say, I think this is fine. i.e. "frame_action" really just means "the user is click dragging the window".
"frame_action" literally just means "can the user can move/resize the window off-screen?" It's only checked in that one spot.
