Bug Description
On a dual-monitor setup (Latitude e5410, Intel video card), new window positions and resize behaviour is erratic and makes interaction very difficult. One example is:
1. When a window opens on the smaller display (1440x900), it is sized to (I guess) fit in the other one (1600x1050). This means that every time I have to find a visible corner (or drag one into view with alt+click), set the cursor on it (difficult job with a touchpad, the cursor doesn't snap to edges as well as I'd like) and resize.
-------
Desired Solution:
- A window should never open into a state where any part of the window is off the display into which it is opened (all four sides of the window must always be visible on the monitor where it was opened). The exception is fixed size windows, or windows that have minimum heights or widths, these windows should fit on to the display into which they are opened when possible.
