295255 - Firefox repositioned off desktop when using Microsoft Virtual Desktop Manager

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Robert Peacock]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Problem occurs while using Microsoft Virtual Desktop Manager (from XP Power
Tools available here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx).
Sometimes when switching to the desktop where firefox is located, the window
vanishes.  It seems as though it gets set to 0 size and repositioned to negative
window cooridinates.  The only way to get it back is to select "Move" option
from the taskbar button and reposition it onto the desktop.  Firefox is the only
application that I have seen exhibit this behavior so I don't think its a
problem with the virtual desktop software.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install MSVDM
2. Open firefox.
3. Switch back and forth between desktops.  I'm using running a number of other
applications scattered between desktops and Firefox is usually on my first desktop.

Actual Results:  
Window gets mapped to negative screen coordinates and reduced to 0 size.

Expected Results:  
Window should be displayed.
