Summary: Incorrect nedit window placement
Initial Comment:
I noticed something this morning... When I open a new nedit
window by choosing Open* from the File menu, it does
not place
the new window correctly - the window just winds up top
left,
over whatever happens to be there. Opening a new nedit
window
from the blackbox menu works just fine.
I grabbed the latest cvs (--version says 0.65.0pre2),
but no
change...
Here is the xprop and xwininfo information, as
requested. The incorrect window was spawned by
clicking 'File', then 'New' in the correctly spawned
window.

>From the nedit source (5.2):
/* If window geometry was specified, split it apart into a window position
component and a window size component. Create a new geometry
string
containing the position component only. Rows and cols are stripped
off
because we can't easily calculate the size in pixels from them until the
whole window is put together. Note that the preference resource is
only
for clueless users who decide to specify the standard X geometry
application resource, which is pretty useless because width and height
are the same as the rows and cols preferences, and specifying a
window
location will force all the windows to pile on top of one another */
if (geometry == NULL || geometry[0] == '\0')
geometry = GetPrefGeometry();
if (geometry == NULL || geometry[0] == '\0') {
rows = GetPrefRows();
cols = GetPrefCols();
newGeometry[0] = '\0';
} else {
bitmask = XParseGeometry(geometry, &x, &y, &cols, &rows);
if (bitmask == 0)
fprintf(stderr, "Bad window geometry specified: %s\n", geometry);
else {
if (!(bitmask & WidthValue))
cols = GetPrefCols();
if (!(bitmask & HeightValue))
rows = GetPrefRows();
}
CreateGeometryString(newGeometry, x, y, 0, 0,
bitmask & ~(WidthValue | HeightValue));
}
When File-->new is selected NULL is passed as the geometry string so
getUserPref() is called. My guess is this is setting x and y to 0 and thus
nedit ends up stacking the windows on top of each other as the comment
says it will.
Sounds like a nedit problem and not a blackbox one.
