Subject: Qt opens popups at off-screen coordinates
Full_Name:
Version: 2.5.10

Submission from: (NULL) (62.209.219.66)
Qt-based applications that open modal popup dialogs will become unusable
with some window managers (fvwm2, WindowMaker) because those popups will be
placed at off-screen coordinates - outside the visible area of the screen.
Some window managers (e.g. fvwm2) will make that window visible upon
Alt-Tab, some (WindowMaker) will not. Anyway, from a user's point of view
this application is dead. This is especially bad since this will happen
very often (every time?) you get a dependency problem window during
installation. At least on 64 bit architectures this seems to be reliably
reproducable.
* How to reproduce:
Start the "widgets" example from the Qt examples. Open a file selection box
-
select "Open" from the "File" menu.
Use different window managers - fvwm2, WindowMaker. KWin seems to move that
window to some other location all by itself, so the problem does not appear
there.
Observed at 64 bit platforms.
