Makes me think they’re going off-screen. But they're not, right? No, they’re not, but without the space between the window and the edge of the screen, at first glance they look like they are. For comparison, Mail.app restarts the positioning when there’s still some space left between the window and the edge of the screen. I’d prefer MM2 to remember where I placed one the last time and always use that. Or at least restart the placement (as I think Mail.app does). The “cascading” should only happen if you already have a window open of the same type, but for you it always happens? (That's a bug and it does not appear to be reproducible for me.) No, it happens with more than one window, but stops happening when the window reaches the edge of the screen. For example, Cmd-N opens a new window. Repeat for another new one and it’s down and to the right a bit. Keep doing that until the window hits the bottom of the screen. Now new windows will start moving right, but still all the way at the bottom. Finally a window hits the right of the screen and new windows just stay there. Same thing with messages I’m reading. The desired behavior is what Mail.app does: when opening multiple windows, move over and right until _close_ to the edge and then the corner, and then restart positioning from upper-left somewhere. Another option would be to open a new message window in the same place every time, if there are no other message windows open. Again, this is what Mail.app seems to do. I have also found myself with windows opening in the far bottom-right. I’m not sure how to reproduce that right now, but will re-post when I get it.

[MlMt] composer window placement
New-message windows in MM2 seem to get placed a little right and lower than the previous one, until one gets as far right and down as possible and then they stay there. Makes me think they’re going off-screen. I’d prefer MM2 to remember where I placed one the last time and always use that. Or at least restart the placement (as I think Mail.app does). Thanks.
