Description Federico Pedemonte 2016-03-31 20:55:56 UTC

Description of problem:

When I insert my Thinkpad T440 or my Thinkpad X220 in their docking station  using an external monitor, all Gnome's virtual desktop are actually the same desktop. IE, all windows appears (in the same position) in all virtual desktops.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnome-shell-3.18.4-1.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. insert the notebook in the docking station (with closed lid)
2. plug an external monitor to the docking station
3. turn on the notebook
4. start an Xorg gnome session

Actual results:

virtual desktop all share the same content

Expected results:

Comment 1 Federico Pedemonte 2016-04-01 17:43:11 UTC

I think I found a "solution".

Basically, I opened the lid of the laptop while it was in the docking station, and gnome shell perfectly configured itself to work with the dual screen configuration.

Since then everything started to work nicely even when the lid is closed (and even after a reboot).

So, the bug appears only if you have always used the docking station with the lid closed.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2016-11-24 16:19:17 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '23'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2016-12-20 19:44:41 UTC

Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
