The cube plugin tries to maintain the illusion that the viewports are positioned on a cube. So when you switch from viewport one to viewport four, and a window is straddling the two workspaces, moveScreenViewport() will move the window to make it appear as if the window is actually on both workspaces. Also, windows have an extra 'output' region around the window that contains the shadow etc. If a window is maximized, then the multi-viewport code will be activated, which causes the window to apparently disappear from viewport one; it will be moved to a non-existing viewport five, so that it's left 'shadow' can be visible on workspace four. It may be possible to fix this by fixing the window drawing code to draw straddling windows multiple times. That way, the cyclical window movement code can be deleted from moveScreenViewport().
Is this still relevant? Anyway, making this ASSIGNED, because there is nothing I could about it.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
