29640 - CreateProfileWizard window opens lower right screen/partially hidden

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, defect, P3)

Description

[Grace Bush]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run seamonkey, choosing to create new profile

Actual results- Win and Mac: Splash screen comes up  centered followed by 
Profile Manager or Profile Selector off center and down to the right. Choosing 
Create Profile opens that wizard further down and more to the right- partially 
off screen.  Linux splash screen is centered and Profile Manager and subsequent 
windows are centered also.  On Windows you can see the next/finish buttons to 
create a profile but on Mac you must move the window onto the desktop before 
being able to create a profile

Since the Select Profile window and the Profile Manager are currently using the 
same window (ahem), isn't this really a duplicate of bug 23463?

this bug is dependant on pink's reworking of the 'screen' object and 
other modifications to <window>...

currently, on a single monitor system, screen returns the correct dimensions for 
the screen, however on multiple monitor systems it returns the dimensions of the 
combined width, which causes multimonitor systems to have the PM split between 
two.

on single monitor systems,  the PM is still positioned improperly as the js that 
centers the window is based off an onload handler which as part of its 
calculations measures the width of the dialog. as this function fires before the 
window has been flowed, the window has no idea how wide the dialog is and 
returns 0 for its width/height dims. hence the PM appearing half way 
across/down.

this appears to have been fixed by danm's window centering changes.
