2014-03-03 23:55:50 Paul description Ubuntu 14.04 trusty, compiz 1:0.9.11+14.04.20140218-0ubuntu1. Four workspaces configured in a 2x2 grid. To reproduce: Start several applications with non-fullscreen windows, e.g. gnome-terminal. Once there are several of these windows, compiz will create new ones overlapping existing windows. Expected result: All windows not larger than the workspace should be placed entirely within the workspace. Problem: New overlapping windows' lower and right borders will be beyond the lower and right edges of the workspace. This hides parts of the windows and messes with Alt+Tab in other workspaces. Cause: Windows are being placed up to 2 pixels too far to the right and 29 pixels too far down. This corresponds to the size of the window border: 1 pixel left, right, and bottom, and 28 pixels top. So it looks like the positioning code is not taking into account the border when placing the windows. Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty, compiz 1:0.9.11+14.04.20140218-0ubuntu1. Four workspaces configured in a 2x2 grid. To reproduce: Start several applications with non-fullscreen windows, e.g. gnome-terminal. Once there are several of these windows, compiz will create new ones overlapping existing windows. Expected result: All windows not larger than the workspace should be placed entirely within the workspace, as in Ubuntu 13.10. Problem: New overlapping windows' lower and right borders will be beyond the lower and right edges of the workspace. This hides parts of the windows and messes with Alt+Tab in other workspaces. Cause: Windows are being placed up to 2 pixels too far to the right and 29 pixels too far down. This corresponds to the size of the window border: 1 pixel left, right, and bottom, and 28 pixels top.
