Force-quit/x11: Fix misalignment of popup with multimonitors #1407

Closed lukefromdc closed 1 year ago

lukefromdc commented 1 year ago

Compute the size of the monitor we are actually showing the popup on by getting the monitor it is shown on and running gdk_monitor_get_geometry()

This returns application (scaled) pixels not device pixels and apparently so does gtk_widget_get_allocation() Thus we no longer have to compute the scale ourselves and the popup window centers on the panel's monitor *Previously we got the rectangle covering ALL monitors and centered on that

lukefromdc commented 1 year ago

Details: gdk_monitor_get_geometry() returns application (scaled) pixels rather than device pixels.

Testing with g_message commands temporarily added to the code and changing the window scaling showed that the value returned by gtk_widget_get_allocation() was not changing with window scaling = 1 or window scaling = 2 either

https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/method.Widget.get_allocation.html states that gtk_widget_get_allocation() returns "adjusted allocation" which although not documented here as such appears to also be in application pixels

Therefore, the use of gdk_monitor_get_geometry() replaces having to compute scaled pixels ourselves when using WidthOfScreen (gdk_x11_screen_get_xscreen (screen)); and HeightOfScreen (gdk_x11_screen_get_xscreen (screen)); which return device pixels and in the multimonitor case give the dimensions of the smallest rectangle that can be drawn around all monitors combined.
