Description of problem: In dual monitor mode with an application open on the window with the gnome panel if I launch firefox maximized the window first gets mapped to the monitor with the gnome panel on it and then quickly gets moved to the 2nd monitor causing a flash. If I un-maximize it, it jumps back to the 1st monitor. How reproducible: Sometimes I need to open firefox and then close it and then open it again. Sometime it happens all the time. It must be maximized when closing. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start firefox and maximize it 2. close firefox 3. Start it again 4. Try minimizing it for further confusion Actual results: Window jumps from monitor to monitor Expected results: Window opens up and stays on one monitor. Additional info:
This just happened to evolution also. Start evolution which was previously maximized when closed. On startup the window flashes on the monitor with the panel and then jumps to the other monitor. Unmaximizing it causes it to jump to the first monitor.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Upstream bug report: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=504692
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '9'. 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 9'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 9 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
