Details

BuildID: 2000022208 Sometimes the browser window will appear offscreen in windows 98. I can't systematically reproduce it but i've noticed it in other versions. It usually happens after i get a new nightly build. I've never had it happen on the first startup, it seems to happen on second or third. The only real workaround is to maximize it from the taskbar. I've also not seen it yet on M13.
Ok, i got it to reproduce today. Steps: 1: Open mozilla 2: Minimize mozilla 3: Close mozilla from the taskbar 4: Open Mozilla The window is minimized on start and won't restore. The only way to work around it is to maximize the window instead of using restore.
fyi, I'm able to restore the window size by clicking on the window's edge and dragging to strech the window.
