Title: PlacementStrategy ignores the surface type and state Status in Mir: Confirmed Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The surface type and state are important bits of information when deciding the placement of a surface. Without this information a poor initial placement might be done causing a surface to resized and repositioned right after it, once the window manager finally has knowledge of all the properties of the surface. This is happening right now with unity8 as surfaces get unnecessarily resized right after creation, which causes visual glitches as you can see the window "contorting" right after being launched and resizing a surface is a reasonably costly operation. We have worked around it by holding up on displaying the surface until it has finally settled down (i.e. we keep the splash screen for longer).
