[xmonad] Problem with maximize on a 3 display setup

Hi,

I have a similiar setup: 1x 2560x1600 screen at the middle and 2x 
1600x1200 (rotated portrait) on the left and right. The only difference 
is that I have only one x server running, and not 2 like Robert.

I'm using this setup for more than one year now without ever hitting a 
bug like that. So it seems to be related to Roberts setup.

@Robert:
Could you post the command with which you start your xmobar, please.


Kind regards,
Felix Blanke
