When I do an action that opens a new window (e.g. ‘file’ -> ‘save session as’ or ‘file’-> ‘fetch by ID’), it seems that the new window is located in a random position. Sometimes it is out of the borders of the screen which is very problematic.
Hi Guy, I think the new window-placement behavior is an improvement for most people. Nonetheless, it seems to be a problem for you so I've changed it into a preference (with the new behavior as the default). Starting with tomorrow's daily build there will be a preference in the General category called "Try to avoid placing dialogs over main window" which you can change to "false". Unfortunately the daily build for Windows hasn't been working lately, so it may be a few days before you can get a version with this preference available... --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu
