As I wrote we expect that this get better for everybody. Maybe after a short
hiccup phase in the beginning. I already had to commit a small fix for Sergii’s
changes. But as I don’t have a multi monitor setup, I won’t see any of the
benefits.
What should be tested now is for example centering a window on a screen. This
should only take the current monitor into account not the complete virtual
screen.
I was really looking forward for these changes and wanted to test them.
I don't know if this is the right place to report issues, but for me
multi monitor support seems to not work as expected.
I compiled and installed libs-gui and libs-back from latest git master.
I have a second screen on the right of my main screen. This screen is
smaller than the main screen and it is positioned a little below the
main screen.
When I open an app, GWorkspace fe., the app icon is placed outside of
the view of the main screen (due to the fact that the virtual screen is
a little bit greater because the second screen is placed below the
first). This just behaves as I was used to it: When I place both screens
at the same level next to each other the app icon is shown.
The same happens to the app menu when you use macOS menu style. If the
left screen is placed lower than the right screen I won't see the parts
of the menu which contain the clickable items, because they are placed
outside of the view of the left screen.
Same applies to dialogs (fe. when I quit GWorkspace): They are not
centered in relation to the sizes of the current monitor but are placed
far right - at the center of the virtual screen.
Is there anything I have to do to make the new changes take effect?
I'm using Ubuntu Mate 19.10.
