Hi karl, thank you for submitting this bug. Do you have thunderbird in the startup applications, or are you opening this through a unity menu launcher?
I've noticed that items in the startup applications start in the upper left, however when I launch thunderbird from a unity launcher, it opens in the same position every time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1208647 Title: thunderbird does not remember position of window Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Thunderbird does not remember position of window - size is restored correctly, but window is always in left upper corner when started.
