This is still a problem in Natty, although the behavior is somewhat better.
If I have two or more horizontal virtual desktops (in ccsm, General Options -> Desktop Size -> Horizontal Virtual Size), then when disabling a monitor to the right or left of my primary screen, windows on the disabled monitor get moved to one of the other virtual desktops. Similarly, if I have two or more vertical virtual desktops, then when disabling a monitor above or below my primary screen, windows on the disabled monitor also get moved to one of the other virtual desktops. However, if I have only a single horizontal virtual desktop, then windows on a disabled monitor to the left or right of my primary screen are still lost. And similarly, if I have only a single vertical virtual desktop, windows on a disabled monitor above or below my primary screen are lost. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu Natty) Status: Expired => New ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/487178 Title: Resizing display leaves windows off-screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/487178/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
