Public bug reported:
Xubuntu 19.10 QA-test using daily LIVE (2019-0514)
Firstly sorry for this being a bad bug report. It's really just strange
behavior.
Two displays on this box, one below the other. As booted up the maximize
window button works. When I move the 'default-right' display so it's
exactly below the other; it may continue to work as expected, but may
not. If I have the lower (was right display on boot) somewhat left of
directly-below the maximize button does not work when first moved;
however as you play I find its can improve.
I've rebooted this system 4 times, verified thumb-drive [integrity]
twice and had this result 4 times, however with continued play it seems
to stop happening at some point, but twice I needed to execute
`xsettingsd --replace` to get back control. There are no files in
/var/crash/ (ie. no crash, it's a strange behavior issue)
Close, plus minimize buttons work as expected; issue is maximize button.
Significance of this will be MINOR - i only noticed on changing displays to the
strange setup this machine has, ; and I don't have this issue on my installed
19.10 system (same display setup) as its running XFCE currently (has LXQt, MATE
& GNOME also installed). It only appears on occasion, and in my testing (not
long enough to be definitive) the `xsettingsd --replace` seemed to fix it, so
is this a variable not initialized, or something causes it's value to be
wrongly set?
This will be hard for anyone else to re-create (I'm unclear. and its
easiest on a newly booted live system). I'm tempted to close & ignore
this (instead of clicking submit). I'll opt for submit; can always mark
incomplete & add to, re-open if I notice it in later 19.10 testing

change display settings to match my setup
ctrl+alt+T to open term (that doesn't work on all boxes I've noted) and term
opens, drag it to each display to maximize/unmaximize window expecting no
issue, but it'll only maximize on my 'top' display. issue... i returned back to
default window positions and still term would only maximize on one display, not
the other.
reboot & starting again. ctrl+alt+T to open term.
yes it will maximize;unmaximize (but not to prior size, only slight shrink -
but useable)
something is wrong, but I'm not sure how to word it.
change displays to match my setup, and maximize button does nothing on
second (my lower) display. again maximize button no longer works on
second display.
i execute `xfsettingsd --replace` and maximize works on second display
(not quite as expected, but at least it's usable).
rebooting again, i know close worked, but did minimize work? start
again. minimize works, but again maximize doesn't [work] after moving
displays to match my setup. i played with screen position to see if
position was the issue, and now it it seems to be working all the time??
reboot again, move display setup to what i'm using, and maximize does
nothing on bottom (default-right display on boot). it's inconsistent
which will make this useless to a dev, but logs & reports are still
useful if the issue gets worse/grows or continues... need a coin to
decide file or ignore.
