Panel does not set strut property correctly when adjacent to another screen

[Rena Kunisaki]

Binary package hint: compiz

If you have a panel at the right side of a screen, which is not the rightmost screen, and you Maximumize a window on that screen, it goes under the panel.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

I'm not sure what more there is to say... exact process? OK, first enable the Maximumize plugin (I have everything except "ignore sticky windows" checked in config):

Then arrange a panel between two displays like so:

Press whatever key you bound Maximumize to (Alt+F3 for me), and this happens:

Instead, this should happen. I think that's about as clear as I can explain it. Sorry for spam... we need a multi-attachment function >.>

Thank you for adding that information. You should be able to attach a .tar file if you want to submit multiple uploads.(Have not checked recently on that)

We are almost finished getting all the information we need.

Could you please run on the system having the issue.

apport-collect -v -p compiz 525582

[Expired for compiz (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

This is a gnome-panel bug, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636842. There are a number of similar bugs filed upstream for metacity as well, but this is definitely gnome-panel being weird. It does not set the _NET_WM_STRUT property correctly when panels are adjacent to other screens.

Should be fixed in Ubuntu 20.04.
