Description Sebastien Bacher 2006-04-06 10:37:38 UTC
That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/epiphany-browser/+bug/38322

"Epiphany 2.14.0, Ubuntu Dapper

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Epiphany.
2. Drag the window to a particular position.
3. Close the window.
4. Launch Epiphany again.

The window should appear exactly where the last one was. Instead, it appears at a default position.

Comment 1 Christian Persch 2006-04-07 12:10:48 UTC
We only persist window size, yes.
Comment 2 Andrew Conkling 2006-04-11 16:37:46 UTC
Could this be marked as an enhancement then?  Restoring window position would be very nice indeed.
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2006-04-11 18:45:44 UTC
Sure. This is easy to fix, just add EPHY_STATE_WINDOW_SAVE_POSITION to the ephy_state_add_window call in src/ephy-window.c.

Thanks for the patch!

What happens when opening 2 windows, are they positioned one atop the other with the patch?

patch that compiles

With this method, pressing Ctrl-N results in the new window being placed exactly on top of the existing window; that's not acceptable.

What we need here is either a way to only track the window position but only use that info when starting the first window; or it's just WONTFIX.
Comment 7 Christian Persch 2007-05-31 13:18:04 UTC
Actually I think window positioning is the window manager's job.
