Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start acrobat reader and load a PDF file. 2.Type ^L or select View -> Full Screen 3.Observe result. Actual Results: As described above. Expected Results: Full screen mode should black the entire screen and show the page image centered in the screen. Additional info: Same problem with Acrobat 4.05 and 5.05. No problem with Acrobat Reader in Windows on this machine. Doesn't seem to be a problem with other drivers. This machine is a Dell Latitude C610.
That would be a bug in Acrobat Reader itself, not in XFree86. XFree86 has absolutely nothing to do with that sort of thing. Also, we do not ship acroread, and as such do not support it either. You need to contact Adobe if you've discovered an acroread bug. Also, just to note - I use Acroread daily, and do not have this problem.
Any suggestions that I can pass along to Adobe about why this *only* happens with the ATI Radeon driver? Thanks.
Yes, you can tell them that it only happens with the Radeon driver, and only with your computer. All of my primary machines run a variety of Radeon hardware. The video drivers know nothing about minimized/maximized windows and the like. This problem is either an acroread problem or perhaps a problem with your window manager. I wager it is some interaction problem with your window manager and acroread. Acroread works perfectly for me in both GNOME and KDE using sawfish, and kwm. If you're using another WM, that could very well be the problem.
>If you're using another WM, that could very well be the problem. Nope, stock Gnome/Sawfish. As you saw, I've asked the xfree86 and valhalla lists if others have seen the behavior, and I will file with the Acrobat user forum too. Thanks.
BTW, I am somewhat mollified, having discovered that the full-screen window is moveable using Alt-LeftButton-Drag.
