VWR - 5530 Minimized Windows Not Remembering Position
Once upon a time, having the idea that you could put content into 'windows' which you could minimize and expand, and place anywhere on a desk-top was once a RADICAL IDEA THAT CHANGED THE FACE OF COMPUTING AS WE KNOW IT! Today, the 'window' is taken for granted.
Currently, and for several version now, the minimiz(ing) window becomes a title-bar and this bar sinks like a rock to the bottom left of the screen into the chat bar. The title-bar retains no memory of its former position. (The maximized window does retain its position memory: It's the minimized title-bar that has the amnesia. Thus and so, that (once) 'radical idea' that you can arrange and organize your window-bars on your desktop no longer applies in Second Life!!! Or at least, it's still crippled in SL.
While the problem of floating-window-position-retention was once working in Second Life, probably around v1.19, it has been broken again. The solution on first shave seems to require a simple fix. The JIRA page(s) have attachments for how to fix it. However, because it's a simple fix, it's being relegated as unimportant: After all, that's just a 'simple fix' so hears the listener who then thinks- It's "not a priority", as one might imagine the conversation. And it gets put off in every new version.
But for the fools like us who actually spend many hours at a sitting on SL, the current status of non-solution is making one want to go postal. It affects our daily experience in a adverse way. Fixing this bug should be a high priority because it's affecting every single user. It doesn't matter where you're flying in SL or whether you've got boy or girl parts, EVERYBODY needs to be able to arrange their window-title-bars on their desktop and expect them to stay. It's all about how you roll in SL and window management is a big deal.

It would also be nice to begin building a consensus that those minimized title-bars might be colored according to window type. Also, a minimized window titled- "Profile" could be titled- "<actual user name being profiled>" so that when minimized, its content is still notable and scanable as a titlebar. Vote for VWR-5530.
