Package: freeciv-client-gtk
Version: 2.2.4-1
File: /usr/games/freeciv-gtk2
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Sometimes I play on a screen so big that I don't maximize the window. Typically,
a 3000x1050 virtual desktop. (The viewport is 1680x1050)
So I place the main window where I want it. To one side, so I can have
other stuff at the other side. But the window stupidly jumps to
the center position. That means I suddenly see only half of the window,
and of course it also obscures other windows.
Moving the window back does not help, because this silliness happens
at regular intervals. Almost as if there is a timer that activates this
jump.
Suggested fix: Just don't change the window position. Should result in a
few lines less code, a very slightly smaller binary, and a better user
experience. I cannot see how the window-jumping could be useful.
Also, the city view window one opens from the main window always appear
centered on the screen - even if center is a long way away, and even if
I always move the city view somewhere else. But this is not a bug, only
a hope for enhancement.

Hello,
That sounds encouraging. :)
It might also have been some kind of bug in X, your video card drivers
or icewm. Probably freeciv was only the trigger.
Anyway, thanks for your feedback!
