Thread: Bug with latest and all prior cvs snapshots

I just downloaded the latest win32 snapshot and there still remains a huge 
annoyance/bug that has been in every version of PGadmin III I have used.

The problem is when you double click a function the window does not open 
centered in the screen or maximized, it always pops up in the lower right 
hand corner.

All windows should be at least centered on the screen or centered on the 
parent window that spawned them.  Or make it a persistant option where we can 
specify default window behavior.

It is a pain everytime I edit a function or table that I have to drag  the 
window around.

Thanks for a great product and keep up the good work.

You seem to maximize that window. This will lead to false values stored 
as last size/position in the registry, because GetSize do not return the 
correct values.

Do not maximize that window, instead size it manually.

You will *never* see a software I'm responsible for that will maximize 
automatically, because this blocks the desktop.
Additionally, windows does strange things with window sizes with that; 
it corrupts position/size saving and restoring.

Resize the function window to the size you like *without* maximizing and 
you will never have to do it again.

As I stated, pgAdmin3 *does* save and restore positions. win32 simply 
reports wrong window sizes/positions if maximized/minimized.

As I said, it's not easy to fix. Use the advice I gave you to workaround.
