[upstream] Fullscreen view lands on another monitor

[Alexander Kallenbach]

As described above. I work in the classroom with my notebook, to which I have connected a beamer. Sometimes I write things down in the Writer and show it via the beamer. I would like to use the fullscreen mode here.
Unfortunately, the fullscreen mode is always displayed on the internal monitor, even if the window with the Writer maximized was previously displayed on the beamer.

Thanks for the report Alexander.

Could you please test a few things to help narrow down the problem?

 - do other applications behave similarly, or is it just libreoffice (try chromium-browser, firefox, gedit) ?

 - is there any chance you can try the same thing on Ubuntu 16.04, which has Unity has the desktop environment (or install and use Unity on 18.10) ?

Thanks!

I've tested to do with Chromium, Firefox and Gedit. They all work as expected. Just libreoffice is having this problem.

On my old notebook I've been using Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity without any problems.

Thanks Alexander, so that looks like a libreoffice-specific problem. Would you mind filing an upstream bug report at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=LibreOffice&format=guided and sharing the link to that bug here?

Hello Alexander,
I've tested the scenario with external monitor but couldn't reproduce it.

I've tested it on Ubuntu mate 16.04 the window changed to full screen mode and stayed on the external screen.

Is it possible for you to test it on other system? I doubt it's related to the OS or desktop manager not LibreOffice.

A Golden Ratio Calculator determines the golden ratio, which is approximately 1.61803398875. It factors in parameters such as the length of a line segment to calculate the golden ratio or the longer and shorter segments of a line that are divided in such a way that the ratio of the whole to the longer part is the same as the ratio of the longer part to the shorter part. This tool aids in mathematics, architecture, art, and design by providing a means to identify and apply the golden ratio, which is often considered aesthetically pleasing and harmonious. https://calculatoruniverse.com/golden-ratio-calculator/
