Okay, after non-stop moving script windows from off the screen last night I decided I need to complain about it. I run SL in a window on my desktop, and do not scale it to use the whole screen so I can get to my file editor, etc. The problem is whenever I open a script on SL, only the upper left hand corner appears, so I have to drag it so it is in view. It should either 1) always open so it is actually visible (left upper corner) or just simply remember where I placed it last. This is starting to become a drag. (No pun intended)

It's even a problem for those of us who play with the window maximized (but not full-screen). The script edit window appears far enough to the right and bottom that the scroll bar and buttons are off the screen.

Ick.. Hopefully they will change the placement back to the old style.  |

I wouldn't mind seeing them add in a locking on edge of screen option. But also allow the windows to flow past the screen edge. That and I feel the minimize task bar location is a bit off compared to the bottom tool bar. I understand why cause of the message box that pops up, but I feel maybe have the option to place these on the top of the screen would be a good feature.

I've had a vacation from scripting the last few days (since 1.2)...can't wait to see what fun annoyances await!  |

I was JUST having this problem! We definitly need a "Don't Make My Windows Go Offscreen!" option. (less wordy of course)
Have fun Garoad, lol.

In 1.2.3, the window placement behavior will be much improved. In particular, new windows will always be onscreen.

Good I kinda liked it better when I could just drag a window to the edge of the screen and still have it fully visible (without having to position it carefully.)  |

Aaaasdfasgh!!
Please make the bouncing windows stop!
Whenever the chat bar pops up EVERY window moves up and down as it appears and disappears. Not only is this visually distracting, but anything pegged under the menu bar will move down and not go back up.
Please let me use my windows again =(

Ugh, 1.2.3 is closer to good, but that bouncing window thing when hitting enter (if you have "close chat after hitting return" checked) is anoying. Better than it was atleast
