Description Ian Donaldson 2011-04-03 07:11:01 UTC
Description of problem:

With the latest yum updates the unmaximize functions no longer
work on certain windows but they do on others.

By unmaximize I mean right-click on the large (maximize) square in the title-bar
to get horizontal maximize (which works), then do it again to unmazimize (revert, which no longer works)

Similarly if you double-click on the title bear to get vertical maximize
(which works), and do it again to revert (doesn't work).

Similarly if you just left-click in the maximize button it works,
but doing it again doesn't revert it.

eg: it no longer works on xterm, wish (tk) windows but still
works on chrome, thunderbird, konsole.



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

FC14, latest yum update

I have no idea which component of kde handles this; recent patches
installed are below.




How reproducible:

100% for certain apps

KWin in kdebase-workspace.

*** Bug 708667 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 3 Luis A. Florit 2011-05-28 19:04:40 UTC
As with most other bugs, this also seems to be ignored...
Consequence: it is also present in Fedora 15. Fedora......

Anyway, this workaround worked for me too:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=272886#c1

In KDE, go to Menu > System Settings > Window Behavior > Window Rules
Then:

   * Click on "New".
   * Click the "Detect Window Properties" button.
   * Click on an xterm.
   * Select "Use window class (whole application)".
   * Click "Ok".
   * Click on the "Workarounds" tab.
   * Select "Strictly obey geometry", change drop-down to "Force" and leave the
final check-box un-checked.
   * Click "Ok"
   * Click "Apply".

Tried the above workaround but no noticeable improvement.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 16:26:26 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

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

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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 to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
