GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 148590
windows opened off-screen
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Using gaim on win32. (gaim bug was closed as Invalid - GTK+ bug) https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100235&aid=994431&group_id=235 When opening new windows (new chat, preferences, any window) the new window is created in the upper left corner. The problem is that I am running a spanned multiple display on 2 monitors with different resolutions. The Left monitor is virtually positioned at a lower level that the right one, and is running a lower resolution. For some reason, the upper left corner for gaim becomes the area off-screen above the left monitor, causing the windows to be inaccessible. (it looks as though a rectangular desktop area is expected) Not sure if this is related to bug #148526, #147693 or #148528 so opening a new one.
Why wouldn't this just be bug 147693? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 148526 ***
Bug 147693 talks about windows save position. My problem is that the window is actually opened off-screen. If the root cause is the same, then yes, it is a duplicate.
Well, presumably the reason that it is getting opened offscreen is that GAIM's (incorrect) memory of its save position is offscreen. If your complaint is that gaim should never be putting windows offscreen, that's a gaim bug, since it's perfectly legitimate to have windows partially or even completely offscreen in some cases.
