Title:
wrong position of window reported after switching workspaces
Status in Compiz:
New
Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After switching workspaces by using the mouse to click on
applications, the pointer position reported is not correct which cause
dropdown menus to be displayed at the wrong coordinates.
Because workspace switching using the keyboard or the workspace
switcher on the launcher works, I'll provide detailed instructions on
how to reproduce this behavior. I also attached a sample tcl/tk
program that shows this issue very well. You can execute this by
installing `tcl8.5` and `tk8.5` and running `tclsh8.5 unity_bug.tcl`.
Detailed instructions to reproduce behavior:
1. Open an application (eg firefox,chrome,thunderbird) in the top-left
workspace.
2. Run the sample program I provided in the bottom right workspace.
3. Now click the file menu in the sample program, to see the position of this
window relative to the top left corner of the workspace.
4. Now switch to the apllication in the top-left workspace by clicking that
application in the launcher (do NOT use the workspace switcher icon or the
keyboard)
5. switch back to the sample program by clicking the sample program in the
launcher (again do NOT use the workspace switcher icon or the keyboard)
6. click the menu again, note that the position reported is the position of
step 3 plus your screen resolution. Note that because of this the actual menu
will show in the wrong place (bottom left corner of the workspace).
After you drag the window, the behavior is correct again.
NOTE that this is not a bug in tcl/tk!
Open http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_select in
Chrome.
Then switch workspaces by clicking a program in another workspace and switch
back to chrome, the dropdown menu will not show up.
