volume osd displaced

[Sebastian Breier]

Binary package hint: desktop-effects

When using the volume osd for the first time after logging in (using the shortcut keys defined as "volume mute", "volume up" and so on), the on-screen-display is displaced.

Usually it is placed in the lower center of the screen, but the first time it is placed slightly right of the center and at the bottom of the screen.

Purely cosmetic, but still a bug. ;)

Hi Sebastian!

I'm not sure what's your problem.

First, do you have this bug with the latest desktop-effects & compiz?

If so, what volume-osd do you mean?

Regards
Emilio

I'll add a couple of screenshots to make this clearer.

The first is when I use the volume setting shortcuts of Gnome for the *first time* after I log in. The OSD is displaced to the bottom of the screen.

The second is when I use the volume settings shortcuts any time after the first time. The OSD is at the right place.

This is with current packages on feisty.

Hey, I understood your issue when you said "shortcuts", hehe but thanks anyway for the screenshots.

Can anybody confirm this?

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

Hi Sebastian!

I think this is not a desktop-effects bug. Are you running compiz when you have this bug?

[Sebastian Breier (tomcat42)]

Yes I'm using compiz. What good is desktop-effects if one is not using compiz anyway? :)

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

Hehe :D

I've changed the package to compiz, because I think this is not a desktop-effects bug, but a compiz one. But feel free to revert that if I'm wrong :D

Can anybody else confirm this?

compiz 0.3.6
Ubuntu 7.04

The volume OSD is displaced on first usage. After that, it's at the right place. See screenshots... only a cosmetical issue.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys. Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

Pretty sure gnome-settings-daemon draws this window so reassigning to control-center.

If I had to guess I'd say it's positioning the window like it would if it was showing the OSD for non-composited desktops.
