50136 - new windows open in lower right hand corner of screen

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 49802

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.13 i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20000823
BuildID:    2000082321

new (browser) windows openend via "open in new window" open a few pixels right
and below the last recently opened window, which is fine. However, after opening
around 20-30 windows the new window´s position ends up within a few (< 10!)
pixels of the very lower right hand corner of my screen. That is the position of
the top left hand corner of the window, so that the window´s content is outside
the visible screen area.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
 open a lot of new browser windows

Actual Results:   the window opens at the very lower right hand corner of the
screen, putting 99% of the window outside the visible screen area.


Expected Results:   a new window should open at a screen position such that most
(preferrably all) of it is visible.

I use KDE 1.1.2, XFree 3.3.3

Sorry, I reported this a little prematurely. After I renamed my ~/.mozilla
directory and started the latest nightly with a fresh profile, all new windows
open at the *same* location close the the upper left hand corner of the screen.
The funny thing is, that this behaviour persisted even after using my old
profile directory again.
I suggest to mark this invalid. Sorry.
