Window does not maximize to full resolution of screen

Description of problem:
Using nvidia-settings to access the Advanced settings for a Display Configuration, we create a ViewPortIn that scales a larger resolution onto a smaller display (in this case 2048x1080 onto a 1920x1080 display)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xrandr 1.3.5
nVidia driver 319.23
xorg-x11-server-Xorg 1.13.0
Linux 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
100% - easily reproducible

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open nvidia-settings. Click on X Server Display Configuration. Then click a Display and then click Advanced. Under ViewPortIn change the resolution to a larger display than what the display can normally go. Click Apply
2. Drag a window to your new "larger" display
3. Click Maximize.

Actual results:
Window does not fill the new resolution but only maximizes to the old display dimensions. You can drag the window out to the full resolution.

Expected results:
Window maximizes to the resolution of the larger ViewPortIn resolution.

Additional info:
We've tested this from the high end nVidia Quadro Kepler 5000 to the Quadro 3800 card with the same results. Also this doesn't work in KDE either on the same system.

Hi djewell,

would be possible to get a commitment from you to provide test feedback when fixed rpm ready.

Thanks
Tom

The X server doesn't control window sizes, it just obeys what the window manager asks for.  What window manager are you using in this scenario, and once you have resized, what is the output from 'xdpyinfo -ext XINERAMA' ?

Reporter, ping? I'd like to investigate this in 6.6 but I need the information requested in comment #3 to continue.
