Description Dr. David Alan Gilbert 2019-06-26 13:58:59 UTC 
Description of problem:

Hi,
  As of the updates from ~1 week ago, I'm hitting a problemw here my multiple monitors are misaligned on login; I reported this as xfce:
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15632

where it's stated that it's already reported as:
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15437

and there's a mitigation:
https://git.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-settings/commit/?id=1f94a8b0890d2c3228e5c70b24c5cc9979ebb9d5

please can you backport the mitigation

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xfce4-settings-4.13.6-1.fc30.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take a system with two monitors of different resolution
2. Align the lower res monitor so it aligns with the bottom of the higher res monitor
3. log out
4. log in

Actual results:
The two monitors are aligned at the top

Expected results:
The two monitors are aligned as I set them.

Additional info:
This happens on both my work and home setups.

Let me try to build this.

There should be an upstream release as well very soon.
Comment 2 Mukundan Ragavan 2019-07-05 19:06:23 UTC 
Can you update to the xfce4-settings-4.13.7 and see if this is fixed?

I suspect not.

Comment 9 Ben Cotton 2020-04-30 21:17:53 UTC 
This message is a reminder that Fedora 30 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 30 on 2020-05-26.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '30'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 30 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.
Comment 10 Ben Cotton 2020-05-26 16:42:49 UTC 
Fedora 30 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-05-26. Fedora 30 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
