165467 - New window does not respect Dock position

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Stephane Moureau]

It seems that if a window is enlarging itself via JavaScript

window.moveTo(0,0);
window.outerHeight = screen.availHeight;
window.outerWidth = screen.availWidth;

that each new window that's opened after that is smaller at the bottom, just as
if a space is left for the Dock.
But that reduction does not check the Dock position/anchor (Left,Bottom,Right)
it's always the bottom which is reduced.

What's strange is that the Maximize (Green + button) is always giving a full
screen window, without taking care of the dock.

In summary, either care about the dock and its real anchor point everywhere or
don't care at all nowhere, which is probably the best solution.

See also bug 130872, "Always create new windows within screen boundaries" (Mac
OS 9 only?).

WFM.

Zooming the window maximizes the size of the window so that it does not get
behind the Dock, regardless of where the Dock is, ahem, docked.

Also, the testcase (JS maxed window) works as expected.

Tested in build 2002101804 on OS 10.2.
