286056 - malformed window on selecting full screen using matrox parhelia triple-head graphics card

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[mozilla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Latest download but uninstalled so don't know????

I use three tft screens running off a matrox parhelia 256mb triple-head 
graphics card. The matrox is set give full screen into one monitor (based on 
where the target window is located it will maximise to just that one screen).

Selecting full-screen from the top-right of the Mozilla window maximes to the 
target screen but the window is malformed (can't see the title bar and the 
three boxes to close/minimise/exit full screen. Selecting 'view' | 'full 
screen' then maximises the Mozilla window across all three screens (and the 
window is formed correctly).

Mozilla should form correctly on 'full screen' to a single screen! Mozilla 
should not go to full screen across three screens unless the Matrox is set to 
that mode!

Uninstalled software because of this fault.

This problem definitely exists with the Matrox Parhelia and Firefox.  If you
launch Firefox and it is already full-screen, the top header bar functions
properly (minimize,restore,close).  If Firefox is <restored> and then
<maximized>, the bug occurs.  It seems that Firefox maximizes ~50px higher than
normal. As a result the header and menu bars get co-mingled and loose proper
functionality.

Screen-shot of previously reported (2x) Parhelia stretched display - Firefox maximize bug 

The previous screen-shot shows Firefox maximized (on program launch)properly in
the RH screen.	The Center screen shows Firefox after a <restore> then
<maximize> event.  If Firefox is started in a <restored> mode and then
<maximized> into any screen (1,2,3) the bug also happens.

Mark, are you still able to reproduce this using Firefox 2.0.0.3?

With no update, I'm going to close this bug as INVALID (for lack of info). Please reopen if you are able to reproduce this bug with Firefox 2.0.0.3 or later and a new profile.
