2017-10-26 17:50:34 Jeremy Bícha description When playing a steam game in "fullscreen" (in this case stellaris) if I alt-tab out and then back the game is no longer full screen and a portion the size of the menu bar at the top is reserved, not showing the menu just a portion of the background colour. Also after this happens all mouse clicks are offset by that same margin.

Test Case ========= 1. Run a game full screen. I installed Steam and used Team Fortress 2 because it's free (but a very large download) 2. Press Alt-Tab to switch to another window and then press Alt-Tab to switch back to the game. The game should display and function normally. Regression Potential ==================== This is fixed by cherry-picking 3 patches from the gnome-3-26 mutter branch. We are eventually expecting a mutter 3.26.2 release but I don't think there is a planned release date yet. These patches also fix LP: #1725821 but I was having trouble coming up with a specific test case for that issue that I could reproduce with my Intel graphics card. The upstream bug mentions that this may re-introduce tearing with full-screen videos with Firefox because Firefox disables hardware graphics acceleration on Linux. Personally, I feel that is a Firefox bug and shouldn't block this fix. The issue of poor performance with full-screen games with GNOME 3.26 (a regression from GNOME 3.24) is a popular complaint in forums and should be fixed by these patches.
