Description Kai Krakow 2008-04-02 07:36:53 UTC

I am using a dual-head setup (via nvidia dynamic twinview). Everytime I start OpenOffice, the window spans both screens, not just one. Clicking "maximize" brings it back to just one screen but it is a bit annoying because OpenOffice doesn't even save it's last used size.

Maybe this is of importance: I am using compiz-fusion.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup dual head in Xorg (e.g. nvidia dynamic twinview with 2 monitors)
2. Run OpenOffice (compiled from source in my case, not the *-bin version)

Actual Results:  
OpenOffice spans both screens after startup.

Expected Results:  
OpenOffice spans just one screen or maximizes to one screen automatically after startup. I would even expect OpenOffice to remember its last used screen size.

Looks like compiz-0.7.2 (was 0.6.x before) fixed this problem. Just the OpenOffice splash screen is still centered across both screens. OpenOffice now even sets its windows to maximized state upon app startup.
