Description John Chivall 2011-11-21 22:12:59 UTC

Description of problem:
The preview window generated by sushi is placed in the horizontal centre of the desktop. With a desktop spanning dual monitors, this means that the window is split across both, meaning that it has to be dragged onto one or the other for the preview to be easily seen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sushi-0.2.1-2.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a desktop spanning dual monitors
2. Have sushi installed
3. Select a file in Nautilus and press space
  
Actual results:
The preview window is split between (spans) both monitors

Expected results:
The window should display wholly on one monitor (for me, ideally the opposite monitor to the one that the nautilus window it relates to is on, but other people might prefer to have it on the same monitor, so this should be configurable). Failing that, sushi should at least remember the position that the window is dragged to.

Additional info:
Sushi looks nice and is quick, but this behaviour makes it pointless as a quick preview tool, as the inconvenience outweighs the utility. For me, anyway.

The fullscreen button works as one would expect, giving a nicely animated transition to a window completely filling just one monitor.

Comment 1 John Chivall 2012-06-04 00:01:33 UTC

Running F17 now, and this bug is still apparent, although it only occurs if the Nautilus window is partly or wholly on the right-hand monitor. If the window is fully on the left hand monitor, then the Sushi preview appears at the top left of the desktop (right under the Activities button in the Gnome 3 bar).

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 13:28:19 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

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 prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 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 to click on 
"Clone This Bug" 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:

Comment 3 John Chivall 2013-02-02 23:19:47 UTC

Still the same behaviour in F18. Changed version to reflect this.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2014-02-05 11:52:06 UTC

Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 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.
