Bug #: 5637
Summary: composite window size & position not always saved
Classification: Unclassified
Product: Kepler
Version: trunk
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: interface
AssignedTo: [email protected]

It would be nice if the position and size of a window for a composite actor
were saved. I thought this was done in the past, but I went back as far as
Ptolemy 7.0.1 and Kepler 2.0, and it does not work.
To reproduce:
1. start Ptolemy or Kepler
2. put composite actor on canvas
3. open composite actor
4. resize and move composite actor's window
5. close composite actor's window
6. save model
The size and position of the composite actor's window are not saved in the
model. This configuration is stored in a WindowPropertiesAttribute called
"_windowProperties", and is only stored for the top-level composite actor.
However, I have many existing models that do store the size and position for
composite actor windows. After some testing, I found that before closing the
window in step 5, running File->Save (Ptolemy) or File->Export->XML (Kepler) in
the composite actor window does store the size and position for the composite.
To fix this would be to store the size and position for all open composite
actor windows regardless if File->Save is used.
Note that in Kepler, File->Save saves the model as a KAR, and this also does
not save window size and position, but this is a different problem - see bug
5188.
