Description daltokde 2018-08-02 04:41:54 UTC

Force solid background for maximized windows behaves inconsistently with multiple monitors.  Sometimes, maximize a window on one monitor causes the panel on another monitor to have a solid background

Steps that created issue
Created a panel on monitor A.  Added global menu, tray & digital clock.
Created two copies on monitors B & C.
When a window was maximized on any monitor it caused all 3 to go solid.
I thought it was due to the copy so I deleted the panel from monitors A & C.
I created new, seperate panels on monitors A & C.
After this, when a window is maximized on B it only effects B but when a window is maximized on A or C it effect both A & C(but not B).

The snapped identification mechanism is faulty because it doesnt detect touching the panel edge based on the screen in question

Identify snapped windows independent of screen

--the old code wasnt screen independent for identifying
windows that touch the panel edge. There were cases
that when a window was touching a panel edge at
screen A to faulty identify that is touching
screen B also. The code now is more robust and it
can also handle cases that window is touching two or
more different panels in different screens.

nice.. thanks for the bug report, now it is fixed for master and v0.8.x branch it will be included in upcoming v0.8.1 around a month from now.
During the fix I also found one more bug concerning copy function, when a dock is copied in a multi-screen environment, the new dock should be added in the same edge but at a different screen first, this should also work ok now.
