Description

[joel]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0
Build ID: 20120314195616

Steps to reproduce:

Updated from version 11b8 to 12b1. I tested by reinstalling 11 and it worked as it should. Installed 12b1 and problem returned.


Actual results:

Thunderbird when restarted or started does not remember it was on secondary display when last closed.


Expected results:

Thunderbird should start on secondary display as versions prior

I tested numerous times by restarting OSX and by reinstalling prior version, always same results 12b1 starts on primary display not on secondary display where it was when last closed. Version 11 has no problems with this.

That is a WIP Patch (work in progress) = untested, unfinished
That is the reason why the author didn't request a code review of this patch
