Comment #5 on issue 22161 by [email protected]: Window position restored on wrong monitor http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=22161
Assuming you are not using the "Restore the pages that were open last" option, I think this is probably actually the intended behavior. Unless you are using that option, Chrome will let the window manager choose where to put the window when you start it. Most window managers will prefer the display where the mouse cursor is, assuming there is sufficient space on that display for the new window. If your window is too large, then they will try to find somewhere it does fit. Chrome does save the size of the window, so the size of the window when you closed it will determine what options the window manager has when placing the window on restart. If you turn on that restore option, then Chrome will try to restore the exact window position that it had before. In this case the location of the mouse cursor will generally not matter, but the window manager may still override Chrome's saved position (or even its size) when when requested window size doesn't actually fit on the requested display (or any available display) - even though the window was, in fact, there before. This is also the intended behavior (of the window manager): imagine closing Chrome when you had a large display attached to a laptop, and then disconnecting that display and restarting Chrome. Does this explain the behavior you're seeing, or is there still anything unexplained? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
