Update as promised. Went into Appearance and enabled "normal effects" => worked flawless, the screen was positioned nicely as expected (0,0) - (1600,1200) when I went full-screen I did however, have no 'bars' left in any application.. (calculator, amule, ...) (is this a bug in 8.10 or me not knowing how to use it ??)
So I rebooted the machine, same thing I switched to "extra effects" , same thing, none of the windows show a 'bar', so I have no minimize/maximize/close button either, nor a way to drag windows around... very weird, and those effects seem rather harsh on my gfx card (slowish!). But when I connect with Vinagre, and go fullscreen it's perfect every time. Off course I'm unable to drag the window around, so it might as well be because the top is positioned 'optimally'. Turning off the visual effects brought the window bars back, and it seems that the position of the full-screen window remains correct too now. That is, until I move the windowed version to ca halfway the screen and press F11 again, then it goes into full-screen, but at the 'set' position (ca (800, 600) - (2400, 1800)) very strange Not sure if this is important but I have my menu-bar on the top of the screen and my status/system-bar (?) on the bottom of the screen. If all of this doesn't really make sense I'll make a bunch of screen-shots to explain, feel free to ask if you think that is necessary. (and should I postpone switching to 9.04 or do you rather have me upgrade asap ? (upgrading has always been a hassle getting the nvidia drivers going so I'm not really looking forward to it =) -- Fullscreen not using whole screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331456 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
