Bug#462692: xorg: after rotation kde panel stuck in place
Package: xorg
Version: 1:7.2-5
Severity: normal
Not sure which package the bug belongs to, sorry.
"xrandr -o left" used to work just fine, but now has developed some
annoying problems. My regular screen size is 1280x1024. After rotation
the KDE panel (which I keep on the bottom edge and autohide) now gets
stuck at the same distance from top edge as before rotation (its
bottom seems to be at 1024 from screen top). It does not autohide,
cannot be moved, and cannot be hidden even using its hide button
(unless it was specifically hidden using this button before rotation;
then just the button stays where it used to be).
Furthermore, I've noticed that for any window, it is not possible to
get its bottom edge to go below this line (1024 from the top) by
resizing (dragging the bottom edge), and it is not possible to get the
window's top edge to go below this line by moving the window. It is,
however, possible to first move the window such that it straddles the
line and then resize it by dragging its top edge to the screen top.
Thus, full size windows are possible after all, but require this weird
workaround.
