Going to panel options, temporarily disabling "Expand" then re-enabling forces a resize to the laptop screen size. However, switching to the external monitor and back again messes it up again. I also see this with plain MATE (both w/wo compositing). It is a regression. It did not occur with FC24, but it does with FC25. I use VNC and this has started happening in Fedora 25. I user TigerVNC and whenever I change systems, or whenever I toggle "Maximize" on the viewing console, I risk experiencing this problem. I set up new accounts with default MATE configurations and the same thing happens. I noticed one particularly odd result - In the default MATE panel layout, I have seen it such that the panel on the top resizes correctly, but the panel on the bottom does not. In my case, I prefer to maximize screen real estate for applications, so I only have a panel on the bottom. I have found that if I play with "Lock to Panel" and shift icons around, I have sometimes seemed to reproducibly solve the problem, but then a while later it seems to come back. This makes me wonder if the "Window List 1.16.0" applet on the bottom is a cause here, as this is the only thing that would be stable for a period but then change on its own. Might the "Window List" be sometimes consuming all the space, and then not reducing its usage in response to resize events? Right after pushing "Save Changes", I realized I could test the last theory by simply removing "Window List" and seeing if the problem remained. Unfortunately, it did. Removing "Window List" didn't fix the problem. As one of the other people commented, if I toggle "Expand" on the Panel properties, it fixes. This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '25'. 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 25 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. Seems to be fixed in current versions. |
