Re: Set window location bug (the return of the?)

Hi all,

this bug also exists directly under the Finder.

On the Finder, place the window at the top/left edge, close it (cmd-w), open it (cmd-o) and you get it 20 pixels below the location you set.

But, if you place the window (horizontally) to hide the close circle and hide half of the orange circle [these are two of the three buttons on the left of the window], close the window and open it you will see it at the location you want.

Weird!

For example, the following script works fine on a standard Finder window (not the Get Infos, Inspector or other Finder special windows):

tell application "Finder"
set position of front window to {-35, 44}
end tell

Nota: I started with -40 (it worked) and then -35; other values may work fine too, but I do not spent time to determine the first working value).

Nota: I have an external monitor (19") connected to my MacBook, but it is located to the right of the MacBook monitor (winter location; it will be at the left when the cold season will end…)

Emile

PS: why must I click two times to set the focus to the Inspector (from a standard window to a floating window) ?
Worse, when the inspector have the focus (a key press on one of the arrow keys issue a Beep), why Cmd-A select all items in the window (the one below the Inspector window) ?
