Public bug reported:
Since the smart-window placement/positioning was introduced, any windows
where the placement isn't set by the application are put in a large
enough empty space. If there is no space large enough for the window,
windows are positioned in the top-left corner and stacked diagonally so
title bars are visisble on multiple windows.
I have a large screen, and would like the option for windows satisfying
these conditions to be placed in the centre of the screen as I find
myself continually dragging the windows back to the centre.
Example:
Open firefox (or a similar application which takes up most of the screen) - It
is opened in the location stored by firefox.
Open another firefox window - It is opened in the top-left of the screen
forcing the user to drag it back to their preferred position where the first
window opened.
** Affects: metacity (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
