Public bug reported:
When another window is maximized or tiled to the left side of the
screen, re-opening an application whose window was previously tiled to
the left side does not restore that windows' previous position. Instead
such windows open at varying distances from the dock, untiled.
= Steps to reproduce *expected* behavior (with a newly created user) =
1. open Firefox, drag the window to the left edge of the screen to tile it
there (filling up the left half of horizontal screen space)
2. close Firefox
3. open Nautilus, make sure that the window floats (i.e. is unmaximized and not
tiled to either side of screen)
4. open Firefox
== What happens ==
As expected, Firefox's window is tiled to the left edge of screen, immediately
to the right side of the dock.
= Steps to reproduce *unexpected* behavior (with a newly created user) =
1. open Firefox, drag the window to the left edge of the screen to tile it
there (filling up the left half of horizontal screen space)
2. close Firefox
3. open Nautilus, *maximize its window*
4. open Firefox
== What happens ==
Firefox's window opens slightly to the right off the right edge of the dock
(with a gap between the dock and the window).
== What I expect to happen ==
I expect Firefox's window to be tiled to the left edge of screen, immediately
to the right side of the dock, just as it did following the first recipe above.
= Further information =
Either maximizing or tiling Nautilus' window to the left edge of the screen (at
step #3) triggers the issue. Tiling it to the *right* edge of the screen does
not.
Using Gnome Terminal instead of Nautilus triggers the issue just as
well, I suspect any other application will though I've only
systematically tested these two so far.
>From battling with this in my daily use I also know that the distance of
incorrectly restored windows from the dock varies: different
applications open at different distances. The precise mechanics of this
still elude me, though the distances do appear to be multiples of 25
pixels.
