Control: tag -1 + upstream wontfix
Hi Magnus,
thanks for the bug report and sorry for the very late (~ after 15
years) reply. I just took over this package and went through the list
of open bug reports.

This is still the case with the most recent upstream version (1.2,
soon to be uploaded).
But it seems to be by design. At least in the upstream changelog is
mentioned that the handling, which screen is chosen for that, has
changed with some release.
As far as I understood the main issue is that if you have two or
more screens with different resolutions, that if you do a fullscreen
window over all screens, the main content might be hidden in a not
shown area.
Some (a bit extrem) example how I imagine this could happen with two
fictive widescreen monitors, of which one is setup vertically:
+------------------------+----------+

So marking this as "won't fix", at least from Debian's side. Feel free
to ask the current upstream about this, e.g. via
https://github.com/atj/ssh-askpass-fullscreen/issues/new
Regards, Axel
