61002 - can't stretch window across more than 2 monitors

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Widget, defect, P4)

Description

[Kathleen :Brade]

I'm not sure who this bug should go to but at least it will be filed ;-) (yet
another multiple-monitor bug)...

personal comment:  why can't I make the window as big as I want (why is there a
maximum size)?  Sometimes I move a window partially offscreen and want to make
it larger so I can see the layout as intended (especially on portable computers
with smaller screen sizes).

The following is reported by Roger Reynolds on 11/15/2000 at

Another interesting (though rather esoteric) glitch: windows in Netscape
apparently doesn't recognize more than two active monitors. Attempts to stretch
windows across three screens failed.

Build moving all existing future-P3 bugs to future-P4.

This might still be a real bug; I don't have the hardware to find out.  And it might be OS-specific.

This affects the latest Nightly on Mac, for example. You can't stretch a window across monitors, and if you move around the main window so that it's spans both monitors, you can't stretch it either.
