Yes, gschem on cygwin as well.
I think it's a bug in Cygwin/X multi-window mode, triggered by new code
in gschem that restores the dialog positions.
The attached patch contains a workaround: show the dialog before
restoring its position.
The patch is also available in the patch tracker:

Subject: [PATCH] Fix for dialogs drifting downwards on Cygwin/X.
On Cygwin/X, reopening a gschem dialog restores its original position,
but with a small vertical offset.
The workaround is to show the dialog before restoring its position.
The docs for gtk_window_move() offer a possible justification:
Most window managers ignore requests for initial window positions
(instead using a user-defined placement algorithm) and honor requests
after the window has already been shown.
The downside is, if you have a slow system, you could see the dialog
appear briefly at the old position, I suppose.

gEDA-user: dialogue boxes drifting each time they are opened (gschem 1.2.0)
I've noticed that with 1.2.0 the dialogue boxes move a little bit (downward) each time I open them (e.g. attributes dialogue, or status dialogue). You can easily see this by just opening gschem, closing it and opening it again. The Status box moves down a bit each time. This can be especially frustrating with attribute dialogues that keep drifting off the bottom of the screen, and have to be dragged back to a useable place. I'm running gschem on cygwin. Anyone else seeing this? ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
