Description Simon Steinbeiss editbugs 2020-01-15 22:20:03 CET 
This report is related (or: a subset of) bug #12006

Currently Xfwm4 shows shadows on maximized windows, which is - from my understanding and point of view - not necessary and if you have multiple displays, the shadow of a maximized window "bleeds over" to the next display, which simply looks weird.

This minimal patch tells the compositor to ignore maximized windows when drawing shadows.

Just for completeness sake, this is one of the items that (despite the simple fix) I put on the 4.16 roadmap: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.16/roadmap/xfwm4
