I think I've now sussed it. With Stagger off and Copy on it does what 
I want. If a link is opened in a new window then the new window is 
vertically offset from the parent window, otherwise a new window 
that's opened from the icon bar or by double-clicking an html file 
opens in the default position.

I can't see the point of 'Stagger window position' being on but it 
doesn't matter.

Window position

[Richard Porter]

After a bit of fiddling I got the default window position to where I 
want it - full width, just below the menu bar at the top and just 
above the icon bar at the bottom. I've ticked 'Stagger window 
position'.

This is fine when you first run NetSurf but I would expect NetSurf to 
use the default position whenever the first window is opened 
regardless of what went before (i.e. no other windows are open).

It doesn't work like that. You can open a window in the default 
position, close it and open another window. This gets staggered up or 
down even if there's no window to stagger it from.

I feel a bug report coming on, although it's really only a design 
oversight. In the mean time I might be better off with 'stagger 
windows' disabled.
