Description of problem: When I insert my Thinkpad T440 or my Thinkpad X220 in their docking station using an external monitor, all Gnome's virtual desktop are actually the same desktop. IE, all windows appears (in the same position) in all virtual desktops. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.18.4-1.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. insert the notebook in the docking station (with closed lid) 2. plug an external monitor to the docking station 3. turn on the notebook 4. start an Xorg gnome session Actual results: virtual desktop all share the same content Expected results: each virtual desktop has its own content Additional info:
I think I found a "solution". Basically, I opened the lid of the laptop while it was in the docking station, and gnome shell perfectly configured itself to work with the dual screen configuration. Since then everything started to work nicely even when the lid is closed (and even after a reboot). So, the bug appears only if you have always used the docking station with the lid closed.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '23'. 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 23 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 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
