            Bug ID: 919
           Summary: Window sizing problems with multi-head desktop mixing
                    landscape and portrait displays on Linux
           Product: Fiji
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: ImageJ1
          Assignee: imagej-bugs at imagej.net
          Reporter: karlcz at isi.edu

I have a multi-head CentOS 6.5 desktop with proprietary NVIDIA graphics drivers
enabled on a single graphics card.  I can use the System -> Preferences ->
Desktop wizard or the xrandr command line tool to adjust the desktop
configuration to enable rotation of displays into portrait mode.

Any desktop layout including a "normal" (unrotated) display and a "left"
(rotated) display causes Fiji to misbehave.

The misbehavior is that image windows (including Help -> About ImageJ...) open
smaller than they should, showing the panning overlay tool.  It is impossible
to resize the window larger than its initial height using the window manager
controls on the window border.

If all displays are rotated, or if no displays are rotated, Fiji works properly
and opens an appropriately sized window that can also be resized by the window
manager controls.

I encountered this on an older build, so I did a git clone and rebuild
yesterday following the instructions for building from source on the wiki. The
problem is still evident in this rebuild.
