You have been subscribed to a public bug: Binary package hint: pidgin
Steps: open a chat window, move it, close it, then open another chat window Expected: the window would spawn in the same place as it was closed Observed: it spawns in the top left corner of the screen I updated to pidgin 2.5.2 a few days ago on Hardy and the symptom manifested itself. Before (with 2.4.1 I believe) the chat windows would correctly remember their position, and spawn in the bottom right of the screen (where I like them). Having to move every single new conversation over to the bottom right is, if the pun is excused, a drag. I am not running compiz; just plain metacity. The pidgin devs have indeicated at http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/7172 that they consider this a window manager issue and that they intentionally caused the regression by disabling the position-remembering code, which was what caused it to previously work. I have no idea whether metacity or some other already instealled tool is capable of doing this with metacity (some preliminary googling suggests not) or if re-enabling pidgin's position-remembering code is the best option. ** Affects: metacity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- New chat windows unconditionally spawn in top left https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311615 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
