Watch for this as an eCS bug as soon as I get around to installing it.

Windoze does a lot of dumb things. No need for OS/2 to emululate windoze
flaws.

They should be functional equivalents. If a maximized window can't use
the space, a smaller window shouldn't be able to either.

You convinced me in the previous thread on the subject that the right
fix would be for IBM to fix PM.

However, Mozilla really has no need to pop up a new window in the
extreme upper left of the screen. When there is already some Mozilla
window open before a previously not opened or a non-persistent window is
opened, there is no need for Mozilla to put the upper left of the
smaller new window more than a quarter inch or so away from the upper
left of preexisting Mozilla window. Better it should open down and right
anyway.
