after switching spicec to fullscreen and back (467.36 KB, image/png)

Description Lubos Kocman 2011-10-13 09:40:57 UTC
Created attachment 527927 [details]
after switching spicec to fullscreen and back

Description of problem:

Switching /usr/libexec/spicec (spice-client rpm)  to to fullscreen and back causes that applications are being maximized over multiple displays except of one like in usual case.

Setup:

T400 with:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2a42] (rev 07)

Display layout is laptop display + extended display on the right side (see xrandr output)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

! ensure that you have extended display (1+1)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. desktop-effects enable compiz ....
2. connect with spice client to host/guest (I'll provide access + howto on request)
3. shift+f11 in spicec (to get out/in of fullscreen)
4. maximize application
5. desktop-effects turn of compiz
6. turn on compiz
7. repeat 3-7
  
Actual results:

each time when spicec enter/exits fullscreen and compiz is enabled then any application maximizes over both screens (which is unwanted behavior)

Workaround: turn off/on compiz and unless you're not using spicec you're fine

Expected results:

spicec shouldn't break default maximizing behaviour

Additional info:

* client screen blinks several times while synchronizing guest and client resolution so there is something in X that breaks compiz.

Comment 1 Lubos Kocman 2011-10-13 09:41:39 UTC
* Simple changing resolution on client does not break things
* Also if compiz is not involved then this issue does not happen
