Description Vít Ondruch 2022-09-21 10:35:34 UTC
Description of problem:
When the GVim window is maximized on secondary screen, it suddenly appears also on the primary screen. Please see the attached video:

https://photos.app.goo.gl/VxKBr8DbsPamSLDo7

I am not really sure if this is issue in GVim, Gnome, Mutter, XWayland or somewhere else.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
~~~
$ rpm -q gnome-shell
gnome-shell-43~beta-2.fc38.x86_64

$ rpm -qf `which gvim`
vim-X11-9.0.189-1.fc38.x86_64

$ rpm -q mutter
mutter-43~beta-1.fc38.x86_64
~~~


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open GVim on secondary screend and maximize
2.
3.

Actual results:
The maximized window is displayed on secondary as well as on primary screen, where the window on primary screen can't be focused


Expected results:
Window is displayed only on one screen.

Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2022-09-21 12:51:05 UTC
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 37-final by Fedora user vondruch using the blocker tracking app because:

 Maximizing window makes the window visible on secondary, but also on primary screen. This is very confusing for users. This issue possibly affects all X11 apps. Several are listed in the upstrem ticket [1].

It says "Album is empty". Why don't you upload the video to the upstream issue or here directly?

I have deleted the video, but it is back up.

It seems that GL does not support video upload.

> issue or here directly?

Probably good idea, since I have created the ticket already :)

Comment 4 Kamil Páral 2022-09-21 14:38:04 UTC
Interesting, I can't reproduce this. GVim gets maximized on the secondary screen only, for me.

> It seems that GL does not support video upload.

It does, but perhaps only certain types, not sure. I do upload webm videos regularly.

Comment 5 Kamil Páral 2022-09-21 16:31:29 UTC
Actually, I just saw it with the Atom IDE. When I maximized it on the *primary* screen, it got duplicated on the secondary screen (just a picture, non-clickable). When unmaximized, the copy disappeared.

Comment 6 Jonas Ådahl 2022-09-21 18:31:55 UTC
The fix for this landed upstream and will be part of mutter-43.1.

Comment 7 Kalev Lember 2022-09-22 11:43:13 UTC
I went ahead and backported this in https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mutter/c/332684b6adab3ab581bfb415db35bb9929d58c22?branch=rawhide

FEDORA-2022-c7746c91b6 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 37. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-c7746c91b6

Comment 9 Kamil Páral 2022-09-22 12:47:48 UTC
When I demaximize GVim or Atom IDE window on the primary screen, there is a short flicker on the secondary screen which shouldn't be there. But apart from that, this issue seems now solved, with that patch applied.

Comment 10 Kalev Lember 2022-09-22 14:29:41 UTC
Awesome, thanks for confirming!

Can you file the flicker issue upstream, please? I don't know mutter code at all and it would be best if upstream can take a look.
