Dual monitor setup shows windows buttons in both panels sometimes

RestEz · 2025-01-20 22:01:20

Hello

I have 2 monitors non-mirrored, each with its own panel and each panel with a Window Buttons.

My problem is that after the last update some apps like Firefox, Evince or Thunderbird show their window buttons in both panels under certain conditions.

The condition is: when the app windows are not maximized and close to the center edge of the monitor (center edge of the 2 monitors).

If the app window is maximized, it only shows in their respective panel. Which is fine.

I've searched through the xfce apps and haven't found an option to disable this and the Window Buttons are configured to show only app button from their monitor.

I'm using X11.

This is a bit annoying. Anyone know what's going on?

Hi, I confirm the issue. I've not found the solution yet sad

If it only happens with CSD windows (like gedit), it could be this bug: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libwnck/ … equests/70

It is only with CSD windows.

Not much to do except build libwnck with the above patch, since it hasn't been merged yet...
