Description Rene Rask 2003-01-20 21:24:33 UTC 
When metacity tries to place windows in an empty space, it sometimes places
the window partially offscreen.
This can happen when the only empty space is a corner in the lower right
side and the new window is larger than that space.

I'm not aware of a way to reproduce this consistently.

I've seen it reproduced by just opening a series of terminals on an
empty desktop. Probably everything has to be the right size for 
it to happen.
Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2003-02-25 22:18:17 UTC 
marking dup of bug 102418 assuming titlebar is offscreen, 
if the bottom of the window is offscreen that's either fixed 
in CVS (for underneath the panel) or a dup of bug 103327
