Application windows take up part of screen

[edward]

I have LXDE installed on Fedora 23. The monitor on one desktop is a wide-screen Samsung monitor. Although the LXDE desktop itself displays perfectly, once I launch an application (web browser, e-mail, etc.), the window only fills up the upper 2/3rds of the screen and this is with the window fully maximized. On standard monitors, everything displays perfectly.

On the system with the wide-screen, is there a setting I should look at to try to fix this?

Thank you in advance.

This is embarrassing. I did do some research here but could find nothing that fits your problem. Have you attempted to manually enlarge the application window to see if it would have a memory? The display setting is probably set correctly because the screen fills the monitor. This is weird. Check it anyway. Should be 16:9 and not the traditional 4:3. I am not sure where that is in Fedora but you could look in Display or monitors. If you find a solution please let us know.

Thanks for the reply, Rex.

Not sure what happened...

I removed LXDE from the desktop this was occurring on, had some difficulty re-installing it as a package libfm-gtk-utils unexpectedly obsoleted lxshortcut (although the lxshortcut command works perfectly). But after LXDE was re-installed, upon launching Firefox and other apps, they now take up the entire screen (except for the task bar at the bottom).

It seems to be OK now.

That sounds like you got a corrupted package somehow. Glad that it worked out. I have never used a wide screen so I was at a loss and had to do some research but as I said found nothing.

This Samsung monitor is the first wide-screen monitor I've had. At the time I purchased it, wide-screen were the only monitors the local Sam's Club had. I wanted a standard monitor (and an LG), but no one had them.
