same problem occurs under a February 2007 build of Minefield trunk.

Or virtually any other build on any platform, other than in late August and early September 2005, when dom.disable_window_move_resize was briefly set to true by default. We need to fix the deps for bug 328492.

This problem does not happen on 2.0.0.4 under Windows.  That's why I reported it as a BeOS bug.  I read the thread for bug 328492, but I'm still confused: is the main window supposed to move around or not?  If it is, how come it doesn't do this under Windows?  Sorry to be so dense, Phil, but I need a little more explanation.

um, never mind - answered my own question, Phil.  Somehow the aforementioned config variable was set TRUE in my profile, though I never explicitly set it.  The site messes up under Windows with a clean profile.  Remind me never to visit that site again.  ;)

See, that's why I'm never going to buy a Lotus: the site's too jumpy and pushy ;)

Ouch, that site sure was nasty.

Curiosly, didn't notice anything weird with SeaMonkey - "Mozilla/5.0 (BeOS; U; BeOS BePC; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060702 SeaMonkey/1.5a"

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/suite/browser/browser-prefs.js#351 - Sm doesn't care about breaking legitimate uses (or, cares less than it cares about not being annoyed, or, assumes all its users have about:config as their home page, and can toggle the pref whenever they see that they need it on).
