Description Yves Specht 2017-09-01 19:31:30 CEST
Is this really a bug?

With plasma and 2 screens, if I move an open window from one screen to the other, the window is resized while the 2 screens have the same resolution.

To be honest with you I haven't seen that behavior before.

Do you have 3D effects (compiz) enabled in your desktop environment?

If so, try disable 3D effects and reboot and see if the issue continues.

Does this happen in more than just the current desktop environment?

If you were to boot the Live version of Mageia 6 and enter Plasma or MATE, does the same behavior happen?

I don't want to sound rude or offensive towards you so this is just a kind suggestion before you open a bugreport again. We have instructions seen when you open a new report on how to properly fill it in.

Just add whatever is necessary to those fields.

Other people in this hard working community would need more detailed information, for example:
What's your type of graphics card (make and model and even the driver that you use).
What's the model name of the 2 screens?
What kind of screen settings do you use?
What desktop environment are you currently in when this issue happens?

Feel free to add any useful info to this report or better YET it's better to close this report as RESOLVED INVALID and open a new report with the needed info without deleting any of the prewritten text.

Anyone else that disagrees?

Assigning to KDE team for them to decide whether this is a bug or not.

Hi how are you

My video card is a NVidia G72 (GeForce 7300 GS).

The screens are:

- VGA1:    ViewSonic 24 inch
- DVI-I-0: Sonic 24 Inch

Main display VGA-0
Display on
Normal Orientation
Refresh rate Automatic
Scaling of display: not used

The 2 screens are configured with a resolution of 1024 X 768

I do not use 3 D effects

It should nevertheless be mentioned that for the installation of Mageia (5 or 6), I must modify the parameter of the kernel with VGA = 787 otherwise, the installation is impossible with a freeze of the screen at the time of the request confirmation of the license.

cordially.

Me again

Sorry, but I think I found out where the problem came from.

In fact, in my personal system configuration (Workspace, Window Management, Window Actions and Behavior, Actions in the title bar, double-click was on Maximize.
I just put it on "do nothing" and the problem seems to have gone.

Again my excuses for the inconvenience, you have so much better to do.

Yves

Just a remark, I did not double click on the window bar.

This message is a reminder that Mageia 6 is end of life.

Mageia stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 6.
At that time this bug will be closed as INVALID as requested by reporter.
