Description Robert Munteanu CLA 2012-05-15 10:27:34 EDT
I've downloaded the 'Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers' Juno M7 package and ran it on OpenSUSE 12.1 / x86_64, Gnome 3.2.1 , dual monitor setup with the NVidia binary driver.

When I maximize an editor in the primary monitor, the Eclipse window shifts out of the screen by a small margin and then comes back. 
When I maximize an editor in the secondary monitor, the Eclipse window goes black and comes back. I will try to attach a couple of movies showing the problems if they're not too large (~800k)

I see the same issue when running 4.2 under a Linux VM using VMWare Fusion.  It's like the x,y positions are temporarily incorrectly remapped to display coordinates.  I see the same strange mistake when DND views about too.

Just a point of reference: this works fine in RHEL 6 using a recent maintenance build (I was using 4.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 previously).

Robert, can you try a recent 4.2 Maintenance build and see if the problem still exists?

I get the exact same problems with 

Version: 4.2.1
Build id: M20120816-1200

I've also updated my setup to use gtk 3.4.4 ( was 3.2.1 ) , NVidia driver 304.37( was 295.xx ) , OpenSUSE Linux 12.2 ( was 12.1 ).
Comment 6 Eric Moffatt CLA 2014-02-04 14:33:54 EST
Perhaps I should just remove the animation code from MinMax altogether ?

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
