Comment #2 on issue 414 by FelixBlanke: Wrong floating window sizes on multimon setup http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=414 Doesn't happens for me with winecfg and a 3 monitor setup (1x 16:10, 2x 4:3) But I have the same problem with opera when I install it with gtk. Does winecfg use gtk? Then it would be a generic problem with gtk and xmonad :/

Comment #4 on issue 414 by liskni.si: Wrong floating window sizes on multimon setup http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=414 I think the problem is that xmonad internally represents window dimensions as fractions of screen size, and these are computed from the initial window position and size. So, if an application creates a new window at (0,0) and then asks the window manager to position it, xmonad computes the size as a fraction relative to the screen containing (0,0) and then places the window on whatever screen is currently active. If the size of this screen is different, so is the size of the placed window.

Comment #6 on issue 414 by ezy...@mit.edu: Wrong floating window sizes on multimon setup https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=414 This chunk of code in XMonad.Operations is the buggy code: -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- | -- Window manager operations -- manage. Add a new window to be managed in the current workspace. -- Bring it into focus. -- -- Whether the window is already managed, or not, it is mapped, has its -- border set, and its event mask set. -- manage :: Window -> X () manage w = whenX (not <$> isClient w) $ withDisplay $ \d -> do sh <- io $ getWMNormalHints d w let isFixedSize = sh_min_size sh /= Nothing && sh_min_size sh == sh_max_size sh isTransient <- isJust <$> io (getTransientForHint d w) rr <- snd `fmap` floatLocation w -- ensure that float windows don't go over the edge of the screen let adjust (W.RationalRect x y wid h) | x + wid > 1 || y + h > 1 || x < 0 || y < 0 = W.RationalRect (0.5 - wid/2) (0.5 - h/2) wid h adjust r = r f ws | isFixedSize || isTransient = W.float w (adjust rr) . W.insertUp w . W.view i $ ws | otherwise = W.insertUp w ws where i = W.tag $ W.workspace $ W.current ws mh <- asks (manageHook . config) g <- appEndo <$> userCodeDef (Endo id) (runQuery mh w) windows (g . f) Notice the floatLocation query throws out the recommended screen for the float to be placed on. I don't actually know what the right version of this code is. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.
