Happy New Year to all -- and thanks to Rasterman and the other devs for
the 0.26 Christmas present!

I am sure this has come up before. When the default setting of allowing
windows to extend partially beyond the screen limits is retained, some
non-maximized windows will open partly outside (a pain with LO Writer
and can happen if I have made the Firefox window smaller). I have never
understood why this should be, but it can be controlled.

However, this question is about a window that jumps out when a button
is clicked. Specifically I have been testing a new back link feature
being added to https://github.com/tomboy-notes/tomboy-ng.

Two screenshots corresponding to the following are here:
https://c.gmx.es/@558252282525778603/YvG2FUw5SHam8RcLzj_qQw

There is a link icon at the top of the notes, to the right of the
search icon, that is currently set to create a note from a string
selected in the body of the note (1st screenshot, "Covadonga"). The
feature being added means that after the notes are saved (automatically
or manually), clicking on the link in the new (here, "Covadonga") note
with nothing selected will open a popup with a list of notes containing
the link. The problem is that this causes the note window to move
beyond the top and left limits of the screen (second screenshot).

In my limited tests the position to which the note jumps is absolute.
It does not matter where the note was open before clicking, it seems to
go to the same point off the screen each time.

The developer has tested this on about a dozen different DEs and E is
the only one in which this happens. Basic questions:

 * What might be causing the window to move (as there is no code in the
   program calling for that)?
 * Given the possible causes, what would be the possible fixes?

Thanks,
Roy
