SUMMARY
This is my first bug report, so I hope I give enough information to assist in
fixing the issue I found. I tried searching for this bug but did not find any
related bug reports. Setting the Position and Size settings to Remember in the
Special Application Settings section of the Desktop Folder Settings window
causes issues with Application Launcher and the desktop appearance after
logging out and logging back in.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have the kickoff button on the taskbar set to "Application Launcher"
2. Right click on desktop and select “Configure Desktop”
3. When the "Desktop Folder Settings" window appears, resize and move the
window to center of screen
4. Right click on the "Desktop Folder Settings" title bar
6. Select "More Actions" > "Special Application Settings…"
7. In the "Size & Position" tab, check "Position" and set it to "Remember", and
check "Size" and set to "Remember"
8. Click "OK" button to save settings
OBSERVED BEHAVIOR
9. Click the kickoff button on the taskbar and the "Application Launcher" will
popup in the same position and with the same dimensions as the "Desktop Folder
Settings" window
10. Log out and then log back in and the desktop appearance will be messed up
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
No impact on "Application Launcher" and desktop appearance
TO RESTORE THE DESKTOP TO NORMAL:
1. Right click in the visible desktop area and select “Configure Desktop”
2. When the "Desktop Folder Settings" window appears, right click on title bar
and select "More Actions" > "Special Application Settings…"
3. In the "Size & Position" tab, uncheck "Position" and uncheck "Size"
6. Click "OK" button to save settings
7. Log out and then log back in and things should be back to normal
