Created attachment 931456 [details] full screen remmina rdp Description of problem: i have an external display for my notebook, which is sometimes connected, some other times is not. after i connect it and then disconnect it, the windows do no longer fit in their place, and sometimes i've seen things like"windows" key no longer working, or "windows" never coming out of preview. this also may be or not related to the extremely slow runnign of yum, sometimes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1.connect external monitor 2.then disconnect external monitor 3. Actual results: while connected, the "Run" filed is covered by the windows after connection, windows behave strangely, like being maximized in a virtual desktop that does not match the phisycal one. Expected results: Additional info: the monitor is connected through a kvm switch, but i had no problem with it in f20 +Mate the notebook and the external displays most probably support different resolutions. the notebook itself is new hardware, so maybe the graphics card is the problem here: # lspci -nn 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor DRAM Controller [8086:0c04] (rev 06) 00:01.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor PCI Express x16 Controller [8086:0c01] (rev 06) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0416] (rev 06) 00:03.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor HD Audio Controller [8086:0c0c] (rev 06) 00:14.0 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI [8086:8c31] (rev 04) 00:16.0 Communication controller [0780]: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 [8086:8c3a] (rev 04) 00:16.3 Serial controller [0700]: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family KT Controller [8086:8c3d] (rev 04) 00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection I217-LM [8086:153a] (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI #2 [8086:8c2d] (rev 04) 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset High Definition Audio Controller [8086:8c20] (rev 04) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #1 [8086:8c10] (rev d4) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #3 [8086:8c14] (rev d4) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #5 [8086:8c18] (rev d4) 00:1c.5 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #6 [8086:8c1a] (rev d4) 00:1c.6 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #7 [8086:8c1c] (rev d4) 00:1c.7 PCI bridge [0604]: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port #8 [8086:8c1e] (rev d4) 00:1d.0 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI #1 [8086:8c26] (rev 04) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge [0601]: Intel Corporation QM87 Express LPC Controller [8086:8c4f] (rev 04) 00:1f.2 RAID bus controller [0104]: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile SATA Controller [RAID mode] [8086:282a] (rev 04) 00:1f.3 SMBus [0c05]: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller [8086:8c22] (rev 04) 01:00.0 Display controller [0380]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Created attachment 931460 [details] applications never come out of preview mode i've logged in with the external display connected. then i've disconnected it, as the shell was in preview mode. applications never come out of that mode, so i had to logout and back in in order to regain control.
Created attachment 931463 [details] "Run" field is hidden noteowith external display connected, "Run" filed is hidden. (need to have at least three or maybe four apps open.) also, the apps in the smaller (notebook's) display, are bigger and the bottom does not fit on screen.
i've forgot several things: # rpm -q gnome-shell gnome-shell-3.13.90-1.fc21.i686 and, after the shell goes beserk, i can no longer click on the icons in the "status" bar. it just swithches back to the normal display.
i've switched to kde and everything works as expected.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. 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 '21'. 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 21 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.
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 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.
