New issue 21365 by pphaneuf: location of window at restart is overridden slightly incorrectly http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=21365 Chrome Version : 4.0.206.0-r25285 OS + version : Ubuntu Hardy CPU architecture (32-bit / 64-bit): 64-bit window manager : GNOME default URLs (if applicable) : Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable): see details below Behavior in Chrome for Windows (optional): What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. put a Chrome window in a particular location (look at it with xwininfo) 2. exit Chrome 3. restart Chrome What is the expected result? The window should either appear in the exact same location, or in a location dictated by the window manager. What happens instead? The window appears slightly shifted (5 pixels toward the right, 24 toward the bottom), no matter where it was before. Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot and backtrace if possible. Here is the "-geometry" line from xwininfo, stopping and restarting Chrome in between: 1316x983+352+258 1316x983+357+282 1316x983+362+306 Here is the same kind of test done with Firefox when the window is floating at some random location in the middle of the desktop: 1233x1004+190+97 1233x1004+36+197 1233x1004+36+197 The virtual desktop where I normally have my browser window is tiled in a way where the whole desktop is covered, so when I restart Firefox, it goes back to its exact location, since the window manager tries to do "intelligent placement" and finds no other place for it. When I restart Chrome, the window manager placement seems to be overriden, which would be fine *if* it was indeed placed in the same location. For my usage pattern, the placement should either be corrected to be in the same place, or be left to the window manager, but this intermediate state of things is somewhat annoying.
