Description Bojan Smojver 2008-08-02 05:35:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
On some web sites, windows opened by Firefox end up outside the screen when
compiz is used with place plugin with cascade or smart placement.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Always on 1280 x 800 resolution notebook. Never on 1650 x 1080 resolution notebook.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.realestate.com.au/
2. Pick Rent, enter any suburb into the search.
3. Click on the first property in the list and then on one of the images.

Actual results:

I didn't notice this before, but window that opens is just a few pixels too tall to fit onto the desktop. Instead of being centred or something, it gets pushed too high.

I see 0.7.8 was built for F-11. Any chance we can have this as an update for F-10 at least? The commit I pointed to in comment #2 is included in that release...
Comment 5 Bojan Smojver 2008-11-23 22:31:29 UTC 
Still present in F-10. I'm not going to rebase to rawhide at this point, as it may actually be fixed on 0.7.8. Any chance we get that into F-10 testing?
Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 02:38:43 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

Comment 7 Bojan Smojver 2008-12-17 04:39:43 UTC 
This has been fixed in 0.7.8-4.fc10.
