After some study, the default window placement is done by compiz, which apply a "smart" policy to "avoid overlapping other windows on screen as much as it can". (http://wiki.compiz.org/Plugins/Place).
When put window in corner, it could prevent futher further window overlapping. That's why it currently to be. If you like some other Placement Mode, you can 1. install compizconfig-settings-manager (sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager) 2. run ccsm 3. in filter, key in "place", and the placement icon appear in the right. 4. double click the place icon. 5. made change to check what other mode you like. >From my perspective, other modes that compiz provide are not good enough. A new project to enhance compiz place plugin might be needed to make it better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1071449 Title: when i open terminal , it wont open in the middle of the screen , it opens at the corner and i cant move it thank you Status in “gnome-terminal” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: when i open terminal , it wont open in the middle of the screen , it opens at the corner and i cant move it thank you ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: gnome-terminal 2.32.1-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: wl Architecture: i386 Date: Thu Oct 25 21:47:28 2012 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/gnome-terminal InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release i386 (20110427.1) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-terminal UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) XsessionErrors: (<unknown>:11581): dee-WARNING **: Transaction from com.canonical.Unity.FilesPlace.SectionsModel is in the past.
