I don't need to log a bug. The issue I'm most concerned about is already
in the Bug Database: 4102292 New AWT Frame w/o coordinates always pops up
in upper left hand screen location.
I've just downloaded the 1.3 beta refresh of Solaris and it certainly
hasn't been fixed there. (This is with fvwm.) I can't check the Linux
version at the moment but I'd be surprised if it was fixed there either.
The bug was definitely still present in the previous beta on Linux.
This bug has been around for years and is in the top 25 RFEs. I don't
understand why nothing has been done about it.
If the Java programmer doesn't specify a position for a frame the JDK
should leave it to the window manager (via interaction with the user if
necessary) to set the position. The JDK shouldn't have to /do/ anything.
Instead it forces the frame to appear at (0,0), overriding the window
manager and putting the window's title bar out of reach.
This is seriously broken behaviour.
