Compiz's Maximumize plugin doesn't maximumize windows since Jaunty

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff]

Binary package hint: compiz-fusion-plugins-extra

Compiz's Maximumize plugin can't maximumize windows. I press the key binding and nothing happens. Minimumizing works, though. Tested on Jaunty and Karmic build 20091027.

I can support that on Jaunty. None of the key bindings in the "Maximumize" group seem to work. Package: compiz-fusion-plugins-extra 0.8.2-0ubuntu1

Same on lynx.

Had the same issue (even though I'm running OpenSuse now), try enabling the option "Ignore already overlapping windows in the calculations".

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

Thanks gnl, enabling "Ignore already overlapping windows in the calculations" solves this. I think this ption should be set as default.

Now we need to check if Maverick is affected by this bug.

[Torajio Bangani (torajio-bangani)]

Maverick affected : Maximumize doesn't work whereas Minimumize works fine.
I also noticed that even if I change the Minimumize bindings, the old bindings are the only which work. I'm not sure, but it might be related to the Maximumize bug.

[Human (bob-igo)]

Natty has the same bug where no key binding makes Maximumize work, but Minimumize works fine.

[Frank Kafka (drw-frank-52b)]

The problem still exists in Precise, and it makes the plugin completely useless. Which is unfortunate because it would be a really good addition to the grab plugin.

Ticking "Ignore already overlapping windows in the calculations" doen't work btw.
