Bugzilla – Bug 196284
Fullscreen windows do not move to original display after removing external display
Last modified: 2009-02-16 19:12:32 UTC
I am adjusting the display resolution, with either xrandr or the GNOME panel aplet, and going from dual-head to single display (e.g from 2560x1024 to 1024x768). When this happens, windows that were open on screen two are moved to screen 1 *except* for the windows that were fullscreen on screen 2. This just creates some confusion and is not a bad bug but an 'enhancement'.
Tagging the bug. I'm assuming the window manager is metacity, and not compiz.
Changing to component GNOME. Sorry for the spam.
Which window manager are you using? Which full-screen window (from which application) has this behavior?
Working in 11.1 with metacity, tested with gnome-terminal and evince.
