One of my all time favorite and dare I say most important features of Enlightenment has been remember window size and position. It seems that has finally changed to just 'remember' so it does remember size, but not position any longer. Now the window opens in the corner of the screen and I have to drag it to the center. Is there anyway to get the 'position' option back? Can I roll back? I used E17 for as long as possible then joined Bodhi as it was closest. Regards, Xeta

Hello
I am one of two Bodhi developers mostly responsible for Moksha code and I can reliably claim no one of us changed the code related to window position. Of course it is worth looking at code and fix if possible. What you can do now is to go to the window border setting and use remember dialog wit "All" choice. It will remember everything. Size as well as position.

It used to be that if I went to window > remember it gave the option for size and position. Now it just has remember with a check mark next to it. When I go to window > Border there is no remember option for "ALL". There is select border style, icon preference, application provided icon and offer resistance?

That is what I used to have. Now it just says Window > Remember. No size and position, no locks etc. Happened after my recent update. One of the reasons I don't like new versions of Enlightenment.

Can you show me your screenshot? I am not sure what you mean. I can see the remember dialog in last E version.

I tried getting a screenshot with the menu open but it wasn't working. But, here's the story with an update. Click window, click remember and a pop-up should give me the option to save size and position, right? Now, when I click 'Remember' the screen just flickers, like when you restart Moksha. No window option for settings. Update bug? IDK. I just booted to Bodhi Live 7 and it works fine. So I guess I'll do a fresh install as it's been a while.
Lastly, I'm new here but have been using Linux since around 1999 and Enlightenment like, forever! Came here when E17 disappeared from repos. A HUGE THANK YOU for keeping the PLACES module! I love it on my desktop! Is it still in 7? D'Ohhh!!! And for keeping E light and fast! Regards, Xeta

OH, you are right. Something is really wrong with Moksha. Let me investigate it. THX

Greetings. I'm back up! Did a clean install of 7 from Distrowatch link. Who knew I could copy the 'Default' folder from Brave Browser into an empty Brave folder in config, install Brave new and my speed dial, extensions and everything is here! Yeah, I don't know what happened. Window size and position is such an amazing tool! It's working fine right now. And PLACES is working YAY! Funny what we love! Best to all, Xeta

Installing a fresh Bodhi linux is great but once you do an upgrade the problematic Moksha could be back. That's why I sent a link to Moksha with my fix for test.

I have to ask. Will I be able to update without this happening at some point?

Of course yes. We have another deb package ready to test. After that the package will be uploaded into Bodhi repo...
