Description

From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    2002072203

There is a problem Maximizing a window on 2 head Systems. With Different
Resulutions.  When Maximize it hit The Skin doesent refresh and the window goes
to the size of the lower res monitor but the skin gets broken up with white
blotches.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. (With Mirroring Off) Open Mozzila and it is on the first Display (lower
resulution)
2. Maximize the window
3. Drag the Window Completly into the other screen.
4. Click Maximize

Actual Results:  The WebPage display clears and the Window dosent change size. 
The Skin sometimes vanishes partly to but the Icons reapear.

Expected Results:  Maximize to fit the or at least shrink to a non maximized
form so when you hit maximize again it fills the screen on the second display.

The Workaround is to resize the window and make it a littler bigger then the old
res and hit maximize.

Todd, can you still reproduce this problem using a current nightly build?

I have amazingly a similar problem under Windows XP Home (Japanese) version with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030709.

I have two monitors, which are both actually at 1024x768.  When Mozilla is
full-sized on Display 2, the menu items do not appear under the actual menu, but
rather shifted towards the left of the menu, and the helper text for URIs is
positioned between display 1 and 2 dimensions.

This looks really messed up.  I am running this from my little Sony VIAO
Picturebook.  It is actually quite common to use dual display system with
laptops, both on the Windows OS as well as Mac OS.  This looks really really
bad.  It's hard to navigate the menu items and other widgets.

The skins however look fine.

darknerd2k: only Mozilla drivers can set (+) blocking flags.  you can nominate
(?) the bug for consideration.

Comment 7

[Joaquin Menchaca]

Oops.  I didn't review message that Asa Dotzler denied request for blocking 1.5b
for dual-monitor bugs.  Chaing flag back to -.

confirming. following the steps in comment 0, the window just doesn't change
size. resizing the window and then maximizing actually resizes the window.

I'm pretty sure this has the same root cause as bug 161249, which, although
older, has more info in it, so duping.
