Description Christophe Cornu

From André Malenfant 2003-02-13 11:57 in bug 19824

Regarding this issue: the only problem i have is that when i restart eclipse, 
the window is not positioned as it was closed. My second monitor is left to the 
primary so coordinates are negative for the second monitor. Multi-monitor 
support is ok if you stretch the window over the two screens in minimize mode 
(windows). The only anoying thisg is to reposition the window manually each 
time is start Eclipse.

Andre,

Can you run the code snippet below and tell us if the Window correctly shows up 
on your left monitor (coordinate x = -200)? It should...

Thank you,
Chris

import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.*;

public class PR34239 {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Display display = new Display();
		Shell shell = new Shell(display);
		shell.setBounds(-200, 50, 100, 100);
		shell.open();
		while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
			if (!display.readAndDispatch())
				display.sleep();
		}
	}
}

I ran the class and the window did appear at coord 0, 50). I tried different 
values and it appears that the negative coordinates are interpreted as 0.

FH to retest this on multi-monitor to verify that the window is coming up in the right place for SWT.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
