[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1925732] Re: gnome-terminal ignores the --geometry location requests
This bug is still there, I am interested in discussing it, but nobody assigned this bug to anybody. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1925732 Title: gnome-terminal ignores the --geometry location requests Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in gnome-terminal package in Fedora: Invalid Bug description: The more gnome-specific and detailed bug description: the gnome-terminal either ignores or misinterprets the --geometry=+0+0 , --geometry=+0-0 , --geometry=-0+0 and --geometry=-0-0 requests, while mate-terminal executes the correct positioning in the same environment (display manager and window manager). In case of Wayland, the gnome-terminal ignores the requests listed above, while mate-terminal is correctly positioned, in contrary to the urban legend, that under Wayland such a positioning is imposibble. In case of Xorg, the gnome-terminal positions itself into the corners of the rectangle containing the physical screens, even if that corner is not inside any of the physical screens. I.e.: in case of Xorg the gnome-terminal is ready to position itself into a not visible corner of the virtual space contaning the physical screens instead of do the same as the mate-terminal can do: to position itself into a corner of the visible physical screen. === The bug of gnome-terminal is that it is not able to position intself into visible corners, while the mate-terminal can do it, ... and in general the usual graphical programs can do it since the 80's. *** The original bug description: The example "gnome-terminal --geometry=80x24+200+200" from the man page of gnome-terminal, does not work: while the 80x24 part of the geometry request is executed, the location +200+200 is overridden by the automatic positioning of new windows by the "Gnome Shell".
