Windows maximize 'under' panels #1343

Open AvanOsch opened 1 year ago

AvanOsch commented 1 year ago

When using Compiz I still have windows maximizing 'under' panels, as seen in issue #303 On Linux Mint 21.1, Using MATE Panel 1.26.2

This is probably a compiz bug. Fix for it when marco is in use required https://github.com/mate-desktop/marco/pull/678 in marco. The window manager has to respect the panel's "struts" or reserved areas, otherwise windows will maximize either over or under the panel

Thus, you will want to open an issue against the branch of compiz you are using (0.8/compiz-reloaded or 0.9) and refer to https://github.com/mate-desktop/marco/pull/678 as a starting point for working on it. Note that the codebases of marco and compiz are quite different, though there is some overlap particularily in theme support

Note that struts are used in compiz, so this should be fixable there

Over at Compiz, the blame is on mate-panel... link to launchpad

For anyone landing here with the same problem, I just found a workaround: Disabling "Expand" in the Panel Properties makes Compiz "see" the panel... Or you can of course auto-hide the panel.

The linked compiz bug applies ONLY to the case of two panels on the same edge of the screen such as 2 bottom panels, a configuration I used to ise before wide screens.

In that case the second panel's struts have an issue when compiz is used.

As I recall, fixing the more general issue in marco required changes in mate-panel and marco together
