That bug is back again with 1.17.2? :confused:

It took them forever to fix it last time they messed that up :(.

It was back with 1.17.0, maybe earlier :(

The "class" that encompases the IM window functionality is badly hacked because of poor initial OO design of the floater windows code and a failure to properly refactor it later when the design hit it's limitations. It and the edit window, which NEVER remembers its position share the same problem.

So the hacked fixes to it seem to come an go in functionality. But now we have the "communications" window coming in the next release, (Which has it's own problems rememebring the state of torn off and positioned windows) I wouldn't hold my breath that this gets fixed.
