Hello somehow I broke my desktop and now I can’t full screen anything on my left monitor it just has something like a “Dead zone”. It was fine before, but while I was half a sleep I dragged something on my desktop with my mouse and it bugged (I had firefox open). I’m a newbie and I don’t know where to start the fix. (Rebooting did not help)
P.S If I change the monitor positions in the settings (drag left monitor below the left corner of my right monitor) I can use full screen again, but my mouse pointer has to go diagonally up to the top right corner if I want to use my second monitor which is annoying.
Well, multi monitors support is quite a nightmare in Budgie.
See
⋅ Unable do get full screen windows on secondaries monitor
⋅ Can't use whole screen on monitor which comes after plank
Did you change recently position of the dock ( plank ) or the bottom panel ?
I’d say
⋅ try with plank on far left edge of the biggest screen, on the left,
⋅ and have that left bigger screen as primary monitor ?
By toying with panel and dock positions, and which screen is primary, you should find a setup that works for your workflow, more or less…
I changed everything around and plank was on my secondary monitor with disabled hiding feature.
To fix my issue I moved Plank to my primary monitor (left) enabled Intellihide and moved plank to my secondary monitor again which seems to work as expected now.
Thank you.
Apologies for necro-posting but i ran into the same problem today, and wanted to help anyone in the future that might experience the same issue. I hadn’t made any configuration changes that could explain the behaviour. However, I did switch the ports on my GPU that were used by my monitors when moving my setup between rooms. (Main monitor went from port 2 → 1 and secondary from port 1 → 2) . No matter how many times I reset the configuration or changed orientations of plank, nothing fixed it. Swapping back to the ports originally used when doing the initial config for my displays solved my issues for me.
