Bug Description

Binary package hint: tomboy

Hello,

I'm using Tomboy 1.5.2 both on Maverick (laptop) and Natty alpha (desktop computer) with Ubuntu One synchronization.

It works very well except one thing : when I move a note on a precise part of the screen (example: on bottom right), after closing and restarting Tomboy, note comes back at top left corner of screen.

Other problem regarding window size, sometimes length and width of note are not saved, and reopening it will place note in top left, size default little square.

Also, when I want a note being always maximized, it is not remembered by Tomboy. If I just close the note and reopen it, it is well maximized, but if I close Tomboy, launch it and open note, it takes again the original size, it's not maximized.

One way to bypass this is to enlarge the note to take all screen place (as if it was maximized), but it's not fully expected behavior.

Thanks for your help.

Xavier

Bug seems to be partially corrected with version 1.6.0 in Natty : Tomboy remembers maximized windows and their size, just the position is always reset to top left when application is closed and restarted.

It's Tomboy 1.15.4 on Trusty, and the bug is still here... I guess it is just the three of us in the whole world?

Tomboy note windows appear as standard size whenever reopened--without remembering their last position or window size. Using Ubuntu 14.04, tomboy 1.15.4. This bug appeared resolved earlier but has re-surfaced in the present versions.
