47332 - Find dialog always comes up at 0, 0

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Akkana Peck]

The browser's find dialog always comes up at 0, 0.  This is very far away from
where I typically keep my browser window on my screen.  The dialog should come
up over its parent window, or at least somewhere nearby. to make it easier to
find (the first few times, I didn't even think the dialog was there because I
wasn't expecting it to come up so far away) and more convenient to mouse to in
order to type the search term.

any update on this?

Comment 2

[Fabian Guisset]

Find dialog no longer appears there.. are you still seeing this? build
2001010320 win32.

Comment 3

[Akkana Peck]

I still see this using a 20001231 build.  Has it been fixed in the last day or two?

Comment 4

[Akkana Peck]

Note, another dialog that comes up there is the download progress dialog.
Should that be a separate bug, or can it be covered by this one?

Comment 5

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

I still see find coming up at (0,0) with linux build 2001-01-16-08

Comment 6

[Gregory McLean]

I'm not seeing this on Linux with Build ID 2001022621. 

Comment 7

[Akkana Peck]

Still happens with 20010226 using kde 1.1.2 and placement policy "Cascade".

Comment 8

[Dan M]

  Errrr ... you know of course that initial window placement on Linux builds is 
left completely to the window manager, yes?
  Are you saying that we should take over initial window placement for transient 
dialogs, even on unix? If so, you should add a note to that effect to bug 50686 
and close this one as a duplicate.

The find dialog is fixed -- it no longer comes up at 0,0 -- but the download
file picker (e.g. what you get if you shift-click on a link to download it to a
file) still does.

This is fixed.
