In fact it does stagger straight down by the titlebar depth, rather
than down and right. The stagger option is ticked and greyed, so
can't be changed anyway.
With the back button taking you back further than the starting
position, there's no indication that you've 'finished' with the new
window and can now close it to carry on from where you left off in the
parent. As I suggested earlier, this is probably more of a discussion
point than a fault. As with most things, everyone's going to have
their own opinion as to what is 'right'.
To take up rjek's point earlier, will the RISC OS version ever have a
tabbed interface? I've got so used to it with FF and now IE that it
is one thing I really miss. I understand it is supported on some OSs.
