615210 - Minefield loses second-head window if restarted after monitor is disconnected

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 583316

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Timothy Miller]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_5; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.19.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.3 Safari/533.19.4
Build Identifier: 

Steps:

1. Connect a second monitor
2. Be sure Minefield has only one window open
3. Move the window entirely onto the second monitor
4. Be sure Minefield is set to reload tabs that were open in the last session
5. Quit Minefield
6. Disconnect the second monitor
7. Restart minefield

Expected results:

The window should appear on the primary monitor.

Actual results:

The window is completely invisible, and there's no way to move it onto the main display.


Work-around:

If and only if you still happen to have a second monitor around, you can fix the problem.  It is not sufficient to just reconnect the second monitor.  For some reason, that doesn't work.  Instead, you have to quit Minefield, reconnect the second monitor, and then restart minefield.  This assumes that it's set up to automatically reload the documents that were open in the last session.

Reproducible: Always
