I've also reproduced this in a fresh 8.10 install in VirtualBox, again using Metacity.
I tried your workaround in 8.04 using Compiz instead of Metacity. With legacy fullscreen mode disabled, the problem is not reproduceable using Compiz. With legacy fullscreen mode enabled, the problem is present on OO.org startup, but goes away if you switch into and then out-of fullscreen mode. When using Metacity instead of Compiz, the problem is always reproduceable. -- OOo starts in weird full screen mode and can't get out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156283 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
