Summary

0014906: WIndows have wrong size and position after IDE start

Description

When the IDE is started the windows (editor, messages, obj inspector, etc) have wrong size and position (compared to last IDE shutdown). The affected windows all have a position and size which was saved for another window. For example, the editor will be where the obj inspector was and vice versa.

Steps To Reproduce

I have not figured that out yet. It doesn't happen often. Maybe 1 of 10 restarts.

Additional Information

The number of affected windows varies.

All the affected windows open where another one should have been and non of the windows open on the same place. It seems that the size/position for affected windows are rotated amongst the affected set.

Notes
(0031765) Vincent Snijders (manager) 2009-10-28 16:30	I was seen this ocassionally on windows too in the past.

(0031766) Zeljan Rikalo (developer) 2009-10-28 16:53	qt on linux have same problem too. I think that it should be changed to general bug for all widgetsets (maybe setted up as LCL bug ? ).

(0031768) Vincent Snijders (manager) 2009-10-28 17:01	It probably is a bug in the IDE or Laz_XmlCfg, which is not widgetset specific.

(0047868) Wimpie Nortje (reporter) 2011-04-28 12:20	It happened again after more than a year. Current setup is Laz 0.9.31 r 30354, i386-linux-gtk2 FPC 2.4.2 Kubuntu 10.10 On startup the following windows were opened IDE Source Editor Object inspector Messages Assembler Project inspector

(0054192) Juha Manninen (developer) 2011-11-18 12:42	I have seen this, too, but fixing is difficult because there is no systematic way to reproduce it. If someone finds a way to reproduce, please tell.

(0056381) Zeljan Rikalo (developer) 2012-02-04 13:19	Not blocker, postponed.

(0065400) Ludo Brands (developer) 2013-02-02 09:58	From mailing list: kubuntu 12.04 64 bit. lazarus 1.0.4 and 1.1 39930. Tired of re-positioning IDE windows after lazarus start-up I have defined custom positions for the main IDE windows. Now, when I start up the computer and start lazarus, the windows are all messed up. I close lazarus, restart lazarus and some of the windows are in the correct position, restart lazarus again and all windows are as defined!! Sometimes a 4th restart is needed. I can restart lazarus as many times as needed thereafter and the windows will be positioned fine, until the next reboot. When the windows are messed up, the position is random but not the window sizes. The windows sizes are as pre-defined or saved (I have only 6 custom positions, the other are restore window geometry) but the Main Menu will be in the position of fe. the console window or message window, etc. As if a the window positions are restored with a wrong, random, offset. Is there something I can do to debug this? This is repeatable and could be the reason for some of the complaints of some people about window positions not always being restored correctly (Graeme?). Combine this behaviour with restore window geometry and there is no way to get your original window positions back since, the wrong positions are saved when exiting lazarus.
