Public bug reported: Not sure whether this is a Nautilus bug or window manager bug, but here goes ...
A bug report has already been filed at askubuntu : http://askubuntu.com/questions/279641/nautilus-dual-monitor-issue I have a dual monitor setup (big desktop style where mouse goes from one screen to the other) in Precise 12.04.2 with my laptop on the left and external screen on the right. I have an ATI Radeon HD3635 card using fglrx drivers and I'm always using the Gnome Classic (No effects) environment. What happens: 1. Open Nautilus program on ext screen and maximize it 2. The Nautilus window jumps to the laptop screen What should happen: 1. Open Nautilus program on ext screen and maximize it 2. The Nautilus window should stay where it is. On the ext screen. When it doesn't happen: 1. Open Nautilus program on ext screen and make sure it's not maximized 2. The Nautilus window stays on the ext screen I also have a startup script doing this: /usr/bin/xrandr --output CRT1 --right-of LVDS /usr/bin/xrandr --output CRT1 --primary Where CRT1 is the ext screen and LVDS is laptop screen. Any help is appreciated, even more because Precise stays supported until 2017. And it's an annoying bug. ;) ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1195725 Title: Nautilus window jumping with dual monitors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1195725/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
