Bug ID: 38744 Summary: support _UNITY_NET_WORKAREA_REGION Product: Wine Version: 1.7.44 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Keywords: download, source Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: winex11.drv Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: madewokherd@gmail.com Distribution: ---
This would allow us to reliably determine the work area in multiple monitor systems (at least when the WM supports the property), which we can't do currently due to limitations of _NET_WORKAREA.
This matters because applications can react poorly to being assigned a different size/position when maximized than they expect. (Example: Excel 2010 in "fullscreen" mode.)
The work area can be tested by unchecking "Allow the window manager to control the windows" in winecfg and then maximizing a window (such as notepad).
