Summary: With separate x-screens, windowed applications in the secondary screen are limited to resolution of primary screen Product: Wine Version: 1.1.10 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ngoonee@hotmail.com CC: ngoonee@hotmail.com
Problem is as stated above. This affects me when running separate x-screens (no TwinView or Xinerama), Nvidia graphics card with proprietary binaries. Specific case for me is my laptop having a native 1280x800 resolution being connected to an external monitor having 1280x1024 resolution. Wine apps and games run fine on my laptop LCD, with or without external monitor plugged in.
For the external monitor, apps run with a limit of 1280x800 resolution. The apps I have tested so far are E-Sword and Office 2007. The Wine window can be maximised, but the extra 224 pixels at the bottom are filled with artifacts, and the app window itself does not extend to that area (the bottom of the app is still visible, just above the 800 pixel mark).
I apologize for not having screen-shots, the external monitor is in my office and I will not be able to access it for another 24 hours from this posting.
Known workaround: Using the explorer /desktop=<name>,<res> option gives me a window where the app can properly maximize. Unfortunately this window cannot be resized by my window manager (Compiz, but identical results in Metacity), so presents a useability problem, for example with Office 2007 I may want to resize it to only take half my screen while referring to some other app displaying underneath.
Marked as 'minor', but may need to be upgraded to 'major', as I believe this affects a large variety of applications (basically anything that is not meant to be run full-screen.
Seeing as this is not a crash, am not sure whether to attach trace or debug logs. Please advise on what additional information is needed. Screenshots will be provided ASAP.
