Really. Who would have thought of that? After I fit the windows so that they aren't too large, it's working perfectly :) > MinOverlapPercent never places any part outside of the screen.

Never happened to me. I think this is worth putting into the documentation so users can be aware that + the policy always fails when a window is too large for the display + and that windows are placed at 0/0 when the placement policy fails. I don't know what exactly goes for which policy. > If you reduce window heigt by a pixel, that should work fine. > > Personally I'm happy with > > Style SeaMonkey MaxWindowSize 99 97 > > which limits the size of Seamonkey windows to 99% of the screen > width and 97% of its height. You may want to try that too (or > even 100%).
