RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Created attachment 565556[details]
Noticeable corruption on top of the screen
Description of problem:
Having two monitors with different resolutions results in desktop icons being positioned outside of viewable area (further details in how to reproduce, it's rather configuration dependent)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nautilus-2.28.4-18.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get two monitors with different vertical resolutions
2. Set the one with higher vertical resolution as the right one
3. Edit ~/.config/monitors.xml so that your multi monitor configuration handles your right and larger monitor as primary
4. Add several icons to your desktop
(thinking of it, there are probably easier ways (such as just changing the relative position and lowering the resolution on the secondary one)
Actual results:
Some icons are positioned outside of area displayed by the smaller monitor
Expected results:
Icons are displayed inside the monitor or on the primary one
Additional info:
It seems that people are aware of this bug ( http://blogs.gnome.org/cneumair/2008/09/19/nautilus-multihead-desaster/ ),however it still isn't in our bugzilla
Okay, after discussing this personally with Tomas, this issue is about the top area on the smaller screen. Apparently Nautilus expects both monitors starting at the same top position, which is not true in this case.
