Maximise does not full screen properly in any application

[uzk20707]

When maximising any application window (even via F11 full screen), the application does not take up the entire screenspace (as can be seen in the following screenshot):

Resizing is not a practical solution in terms of games (where distracting window borders can still be seen) and I'm wondering if there is some way to correct it so maximise/fullscreen takes up the full screen?

Do you mean the space between the FF windows and the panel ?
Please have a look at the margin tab in Prefs > Openbox Config Manager.

Yeah, the gap at the bottom.

Margins are all 0. Curiously the background image of the login screen (but not the desktop screen) also has a tiled effect that has a line on the exact same point.

Hmm, I'm not much into video stuff. Please post your config, including video card and drivers you are using, so that others can help you. Thanks.

How do I do that?

Here's what I mean about the background stuff doing it:

Surely that must be a bug?

I do not know if it is a bug as the bottom of the wallpaper gets drawn below the area your maximized windows can open.

Thank. As I said, I'm not much into video and stuff. You have intel (same as here) I suppose you have no restricted drivers installed.
So I'm not sure where to point you at. One thing : in the Openbox Config Manager, do you have a reserved space for a dock ? It is the last item on the vertical left list.

Sorry for the delay. According to dockapps it's position is 'top-left'. There doesn't appear to be anyway to disable it. I don't have any dockapps.

What do you have in the last tab (Advanced) of Panel Preferences (which you get after right-clicking on lxpanel and choosing Panel Settings)?
Under Properties, I have both items unticked.
