Description artur.glavic 2009-07-07 11:02:41 UTC

Version:           0.3 (using KDE 4.2.90)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I am using a dual monitor setup with a panel on the right side of the left monitor. Since KDE 4.3 Beta the windows on that monitor always maximize below the panel. When the panel is moved to the left the maximized windows stop at the panel edge as intended. 
This was working well in KDE 4.2 so I believe this could be fixed quite easyly.

Running 4.13.3 today (Kubuntu) and I'm definitely still seeing this same problem with a dual monitor setup.  Following the trail of duplicates, it seems nobody cares.  Pretty disappointing considering that Microsoft had this type of thing working fine with Win 7.
