Hi all,

I'm currently chasing a strange behaviour. Preferences panels saving
their position with [NSWindow -setFrameAutosaveName:] and friends are
often redisplayed on the top left corner of the screen.

Looking at the application defaults I found that the x coordinate is
saved as -1. These values are saved in [NSWindow -sendEvent:] with [self
saveFrameUsingName: _autosaveName]; when reacting to the
NSAppKitDefined/GSAppKitWindowMoved message.

As I don't understand why those messages could be sent with x=-1 (and
I'm not sure y is meaninful), I used the follwing hack to cure the
problem but I hope someone will understand and fix the problem.

This is with Unity on Ubuntu 11.10.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
Philippe

Hi Philippe,

you code may work around the problem, but I would like to first understand what is causing it. You could add a break point on your new code to see what is causing it. In addition you could add the switches "--GNU-Debug=NSEvent --GNU-Debug=Moving --GNU-Debug=Frame" to your command line to see more debug output. That way we may be able to understand how this nonsensical value get created.

It could be that the line
n = [self _XFrameToOSFrame: x for: cWin];
converts the correct X values into wrong OS values. This would mean that we are using the wrong style offset values. Which window manager are you using? Is this properly supported by our _checkStyle: code? Here the command line switch "--GNU-Debug=Offset" should give you more information.

Fred
