Multiply login windows

Post by adrian8888 »

Hello,

strange problem which affects all cinnamons from 2.0 version. In about 50 % of logins after suspending system I see such multiplied windows.
Look at the screenshot please: http://i61.tinypic.com/fc8iv9.jpg

How can I solve it?

Do you perhaps have a HiDPI screen? If you don't know; what is your screen size (diagonal in inches) and what is the maximum resolution (width x height in pixels).

Which version of Linux Mint are you using? If you're on Linux Mint 17.1 then probably best to either talk to the developers directly, or report an issue. If you're not on 17.1, time to upgrade so you get the latest Cinnamon.

I talked to the developers; this is in component cinnamon-screensaver. They just implemented a patch few days ago might also solve this (https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-s ... ef7fa69305). In any case, they are aware of this problem :) It's probably going into 17.2 release's version of Cinnamon, so not readily available on 17.1 yet.

Thanks a lot!:) HDPi support has still a lot of bugs unfortunatelly, f.e icons in tray of qt applications are really small (f.e. Dropbox), and some qt applications don`t work with qt-settings at all so fonts are extremely small (like in Viber). It`d be awesome if someone could repair it:)
