IDEA diff window has restricted maximum size on Linux when using two monitors

Created: 19 Apr 07 02:20   Updated: 11 Jan 08 23:44
Component/s: Diff/Merge

Environment:
Ubuntu 6.10
Gnome desktop
Metacity window manager version 2.16.3-0ubuntu2
NVIDIA TwinView

Fedora Core 6
Gnome desktop
Metacity window manager
NVIDIA TwinView

Build: 6,180
Severity: High


 Description  « Hide
When using the Changes -> Diff window on a Linux system with two monitors configured as a single desktop (using nVidia TwinView) it is not possible to make the window any wider than one of the monitors plus about 10 pixels. For example, I have two monitors configured as one desktop, each monitor resolution is 1280 pixels wide, so my total desktop width is 2560 pixels. When resizing other windows (for example the main IDEA window) there is no problem to resize them to use the entire width of the desktop, i.e. 2560 pixels, but the Diff window refuses to be made any wider than about 1290 pixels or so.

It appears it is not possible to make it taller than one monitor either, although this doesn't concern me.

The Diff3 window (for merge conflicts) works fine, as does every other child window we have tried.

The problem does not occur on Windows with two monitors.

Mats, you said in Windows the problem does not occur. Since upgrading to 7.0.2, the diff window appears with the right size but will not save its position on the other monitor. This problem regresses constantly in IDEA (I've probably filed the same bug report about 3 times now), but I wonder if what I am seeing is related to your problem now?
