Summary: Flash wIndow initially displays off screen Product: Wine Version: 0.9.59. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: DouglasYMan@Yahoo.com CC: DouglasYMan@Yahoo.com
What I did: I was working with Flash 8 on a external monitor. I shutdown flash, then disconnected the external monitor. When I started Flash back up, the work window was nowhere to be found (The splash logo came up and the process was still running).
How I worked around it: 1. Re-attach external monitor, and restart Flash. Flash then displays on the external monitor. 2. Emulate a virtual desktop, at a ridiculous resolution, so it looks like both monitors are attached. Now when Flash opens, it will be in one of the corners of the virtual desktop (If you would like; you can move the window, turn off virtual desktop, restart flash; and it will position its self where you moved the window to).
What I think happened: Flash remembers where the window was last positioned, when it is closed. When you open it, it tries to position its self where it was closed. If you had a larger display size, when you last ran flash, it is quite possible that Flash will now open off the screen (and you won't be able to Alt+Tab to it and move it, without using wine's virtual desktop).
Desired behavior: If Flash tries to start off of the screen, it gets repositioned to your current display size.
FYI: first bug report, sorry if format of ticket is odd. Thanks!

No, I am running 1.1.7 and I am no longer seeing this issue. Thank you! PS: does that resolve this issue?
