icons placed strangely when adding second monitor

[Mikael Nilsson]

When adding a second monitor, the bar places itself correctly (at 0.9 as I've specified) but the icons don't follow. See attached screenshot.

After a while (triggered by something like a click or similar) the icons suddenyl snap into the right position. In the meantime, the icons are clickable where they are, while the bar is not clickable.

I'm using nvidia-settings to add the second monitor placed to the left.

Thanks for the report.
Can you provide a screenshot of you configuation in the nvidia-settings ?

Here's my setup. The problem occurs after adding the leftmost screen.

this'll be fixed for 0.2.6, when everything will be in one window, rather than two placed above each other.

Also reported on Debian.

Hi, I am running 0.3.1 and still experiencing this problem.

My setup (1440x900) and I add second one (1280x1024) with:
 xrandr --output VGA --left-of LVDS --mode 1280x1024

Bar is placed ok, but icons are about 5cms above. Mouse works ok when hover over the icons. When I click lets say About window in AWN preferences, icons are sorted back ok to the bar.

When I then turn off the secondary screen, the bar is placed again on my laptop screen ok, but icons are missing (doing the trick with About brings them back).

Will attach the screen shot

I also have this problem (which is very annoying since I am working on a RandR applet ;). Every time I switch the mode of the current output, (e.g. from 1024x768 to 1280x1024), the icons keep floating at their old position (in the middle of the desktop) and are only redrawn in the correct place when something changes in their composition (e.g. a new task appears).
Ubuntu Hardy, awn from bzr, using AWNLib.

I apply the patch and build a package for Intrepid on my PPA (https://edge.launchpad.net/~gilir/+archive). Could someone can test the new package and see if the bug still here ?

Thanks.

[Julien Lavergne (gilir)]

Wrong bug.
But the package could contain a fix for that. Any tests are welcome.

Thanks.

Should be fixed in 0.4
