324455 - external application window displaced to right

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Baron]

When I open a new window from an external application, e.g.,
clicking on a link in Gnome termial, or opeining a local file,
the position of the window is displaced to the right by about
1300 px on a 1600 px monitor.  This happened in the most recent
trunk builds.  It seems to coincide with another, more minor
bug.  Usually when I start Firefox, it puts the upper left of
the window at position 0+0, regardless of what else is open.
But now it puts it below the border of Gnome terminal.

I will be investigating more, and may add more later.

Probably it is.  I have now read that report 5 times, and I think I
understand it.  I did notice the small size, but that was easily
fixed: when I made the window larger, the size was remembered.  So
probably this should be a duplicate of that bug, although it is
possible that the failure to position at 0+0 is something else.

This bug is now fixed on the trunk, probably as a result of
fixing bug 324348.  I think it shoule be marked FIXED.
(I'll try to do that, but I don't think I have the power.)
