Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2012-08-27 06:54:22 UTC 
Pitivi's welcome dialog is a modal window of type "normal" (not dialog, so I can still show window decorations), set transient for the pitivi main window.

If I set its position to "center on parent" and its gravity property to "center", the window will jump around on creation, although my code set the transient relationship way before actually calling the show method.

This happens with GTK3, but not GTK2.

Comment 3 Cosimo Cecchi 2015-06-27 04:12:29 UTC 
This is still valid with GTK master, and affects Sushi, where the glitch is much more annoying.
Comment 4 Wolf Vollprecht 2015-06-29 09:06:18 UTC 
This is the one thing that keeps me from using sushi day-to-day...

We're moving to gitlab! As part of this move, we are moving bugs to NEEDINFO if they haven't seen activity in more than a year. If this issue is still important to you and still relevant with GTK+ 3.22 or master, please reopen it and we will migrate it to gitlab.
Comment 7 Matthias Clasen 2018-04-15 00:15:39 UTC 
As announced a while ago, we are migrating to gitlab, and bugs that haven't seen activity in the last year or so will be not be migrated, but closed out in bugzilla.

If this bug is still relevant to you, you can open a new issue describing the symptoms and how to reproduce it with gtk 3.22.x or master in gitlab:
