I can confirm this bug and how it might be reproduced. I updated the bug
description to contains required steps to reproduce the bug. You can
also see the bug reproduced in the attached videos.
** Summary changed:
- firefox 3 beta 5 displays full screen on start
+ firefox 3 displays full screen on start
** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
-
On initial start of firefox, it displays fullscreen (i like to call it
super-maximised). ie over gnome panels and without window borders.
This is remedied by pushing F11 twice, to render the web page area
fullscreen, then restore to 'maximized' status. It then corrects itself
to fit within the gnome panels (they are default top and bottom of the
screen), and displays the correct window borders (emerald theme).
I am using:
* Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy
* Firefox 3 beta 5
* Compiz-fusion with emerald (suspect problem exists here, however there are
no other apps that display the same issue)
* no Backports or Proposed Update repositories (ie default Ubuntu
repositories only)
+ Update : This bug can be reproduced when firefox is opened in de-
+ maximized mode inside a lower resolution than the last time it has been
+ closed. This can also happens, for example, when a firefox profile is
+ shared between two operating systems with different screen resolutions.
+
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ 1. Use the bigger resolution that your computer can take and open Firefox.
+ 2. If not already done, demaximize the Firefox window (right clic /
Demaximize).
+ 3. Close Firefox
+ 4. Change the screen resolution for a very lower one.
+ 5. Open Firefox
