Bug Description

As a huge gamer I find Drawers to be a breeze to organizing my games.
The problem is when I launch a game that are set fullscreen from Drawers, the games starts minimized and I have to click the game to get it fullscreen.
Also some fullscreen games do start in fullscreen but the upper panel and the unity panel are still visible.

Hmmm... Strange behavior. Can you tell me if it's the same whether you start the game from the quicklist without opening drawers or this only occurs when a drawer is open and you click the game icon.

Thanks,
Ian

I've tried reproducing this with the game 'And yet it moves', 'Hammerfight' and 'Jamestown' all from a Humble Indie Bundle, but I get the appropriate behavior with fullscreen mode for all of them. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a gamer and I don't have a lot of things to test it on. Is there a certain type of game this is occurring with (e.g. Steam, wine)?

You can also try opening the drawer from a terminal in debug mode to see if any output is useful. To do that, run the drawer like so:

/opt/extras.ubuntu.com/drawers/bin/drawers -d -f ~/.local/share/applications/NAME_OF_YOUR_DRAWER.desktop

Just put the appropriate path and name of your drawer.

ok, I'll take alook at that. It can also be it's the steam games.
