[Bug 947025] Re: Multi-monitor - Windows maximise only on the secondary display
** Description changed:
- Often when I try to maximise a window that is on the primary display it
- will move to the secondary display instead. Here is what I did just
- now:
+ For windows maximizing on the wrong workspace (single monitor), see bug
+ 776435.

+ ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
+ Often when I try to maximise a window that is on the primary display it will move to the secondary display instead. Here is what I did just now:
I have a Chromium window that I want to move from the secondary display
to the primary display, so I drag the window over to my primary display,
and drag the title bar to the top of the screen.
Result: The window maximises, but on the secondary display instead.
Same scenario, but instead of dragging the window to the top I use the
window controls to maximise the window.
Result: The window maximises, but on the secondary display instead.
Same scenario, but I try to maximise on half the primary display by
dragging to the left (or right). I'm doing this just to test really.
Result: It works as expected and the window changes dimensions to fit
in the left (or right) half of the primary display.
Workaround:
If, after dragging the window to my primary display, I resize the window to make sure that it fits fully w/in the dimensions of the primary display it will maximise on the primary display as expected. Therefore, I suspect the problem is that some part of the window is hanging off-screen and Compiz assumes I want to move the window to the other display. This is a poor assumption, and quite honestly very frustrating. My secondary display is quite a bit larger than the primary and this means this scenario happens frequently.
