Description Mary Ellen Foster 2008-04-18 17:05:21 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.3)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

If I run in dual-screen side-by-side mode with the panel on the left, weird things happen with window management. First of all, when I open any applications, they end up tiny and in the top-left corner (see first attachment).

If I even slightly try to resize such a window or to move it to the right, the mouse jumps immediately to the second (right) display and the window gets very wide (second and third attachments).

If I drag a window over to the second display, it moves around fine there, but I can't move it back to the left (fourth attachment). I can resize the window to the left, but I can't move it left.

I know that this sounds very weird. It only happens with the panel on the left when I have two displays; panel on the left with one display or panel anywhere else doesn't trigger the symptoms.

If I drag a window to the right and then try to put it back, I can't move it
any further to the left than this
