Can't reproduce that...
But when trying, i did find out that new windows positions behave eratically. I found out it has something to do with both the size and position the last chatwindow had. That is where a new window is based on.
A new window appears where i last closed it.
When i open a second one,it usually appears randomly, or top- left.
Three or more windows appear at the top left and nicely stack up in groups of five.
Found out that this is all dependant on the size of the windows you use. With small windows,they usually stack up nicely where the last window closed.
(flaw? it think a second window should appear stacked on the first window's position,where it is active at that time... and not the position where it appeared)
I think i have found out more in-depth info about this bug.
Try this with tabbed chatting turned on:
-open a conversation window
-make the window as small as possible
-put it somewhere top-left
-close it
-reopen it
-minimise it
-select another contact to chat with.
Voila, it does not jump to the second screen anymore.
It does reopen a little down and right,i guess it should not happen like this.
You can keep minimising and opening contacts until the conversation window goes out of the desktop borders, and then it pops to the second screen.
That is exactly where the problem lies.
You can retry the above actions with a bigger conversation window than you did before.
You'll notice that it will pop to your second screen quicker. And amazingly again, exactly at the moment when it goes out of the desktop borders
I think we can conclude here, this bug consists of 2 problems.
First, a tabbed chatting conversation window should not reappear a little down and right.
Second, a chatting window out of screen borders should not reappear on the second screen.(rather same position, or top-left?)
Enough research i think! Shouting out to Patchou as well!
