Observe that the windows shrink vertically and repaint when entering spread and re-expand when leaving spread. I expect the windows should scale and not repaint or resize when entering or leaving spread. Test case. Start a virtualbox VM (with guest additions enabled so desktop resizing is automatic) Maximise the virtualbox window. Open a terminal in virtualbox and run the following command:- watch xrandr This will show the current resolution (which on my 1080p desktop is 1855x1034) - attached max.png Enter spread on the host with Super+W Observe the guest repainting the desktop Wait a second or two for xrandr to display the new resolution (which on my machine goes to 1855x1006 - a reduction of 28px) - attached spread.png Exit spread and observe the screen size goes back to what it was before.
