Linux window position saving

[oakmac]

I'm noticing a bug on Linux (Xubuntu 14.04) where the window position adjusts between application closing / opening.

Here is window.json opening and closing 4 times:

{"maximized":false,"position":[258,136],"size":[1000,850]}
{"maximized":false,"position":[259,160],"size":[1000,850]}
{"maximized":false,"position":[260,184],"size":[1000,850]}
{"maximized":false,"position":[261,208],"size":[1000,850]}

Every time the window is closed it adjusts x by x + 1 and y by y + 24.

Not seeing this behavior on Windows. Wonder if this is an xfce thing, an atom-shell thing, all Linux? Who knows.

Might also have to do with the way we're closing the window right now using destroy() instead of following normal window close lifecycle.

Would be great if someone could reproduce this on Linux using a different window manager.

Happening on ubuntu too. Eventually stops moving on y coordinates.

Is it adjusting in the same way? ie: x+1, y+24? Which version of Ubuntu? Window manager? etc You can check this in the window.json file located in ~/.config/Cuttle/window.json It should be updated everytime the application is closed.

no x movement and different y movement on ubuntu 14.04; window manager is Unity.

comamitc@ubuntu:~/.config/Cuttle$ cat window.json 
{"maximized":false,"position":[253,80],"size":[1000,850]}
comamitc@ubuntu:~/.config/Cuttle$ cat window.json 
{"maximized":false,"position":[253,108],"size":[1000,850]}

Can we see a few more iterations of that just to confirm a pattern?

comamitc@ubuntu:~/.config/Cuttle$ cat window.json 
{"maximized":false,"position":[253,80],"size":[1000,850]}
comamitc@ubuntu:~/.config/Cuttle$ cat window.json 
{"maximized":false,"position":[253,108],"size":[1000,850]}
comamitc@ubuntu:~/.config/Cuttle$ cat window.json 
{"maximized":false,"position":[253,128],"size":[1000,850]}
comamitc@ubuntu:~/.config/Cuttle$ cat window.json 
{"maximized":false,"position":[253,128],"size":[1000,850]}

Appears to move to the bounds on the UI and then stops.

I believe this might be worthy of an Atom-Shell bug. If they feel the need to escalate to the various UNIX window managers due to inconsistency, I believe the maintainers should be responsible for that.

[oakmac]

Yeah - this feels like an atom-shell (or deeper, chromium?) bug to me. I will open an issue there and see what they say.
