Using freecad 0.19 on Ubuntu 18.04. When start freecad from the AppImage file, the application window is not positioned properly with the window's title bar totally outside of the screen.

Had you running a FreeCAD instance in the past which was not at the correct position when closing it? Position and size of the main window, its toolbars and dock windows are saved in the file $HOME/.config/FreeCAD/FreeCAD.conf

What happens when you delete the file and start again the AppImage? Only if it's not in the correction position I would consider this as a bug, but otherwise not.

I've deleted remnants of previous installation of FreeCAD before starting the latest version.


Here is what I've noticed:

TestCase#1:
-Removed following directories...
~/.FreeCAD
~/.config/FreeCAD
-Fresh start of FreeCAD.
-FreeCAD window fills up the whole screen. The title bar of window is outside of screen.
-Reduce window size and place at center of screen.
-Close FreeCAD.
-Start FreeCAD.
-FreeCAD window appears in center of screen with previous reduced window size
-This is expected

TestCase#2:
-Following from previous test case.
-Move FreeCAD window to upper left corner of screen.
-Close FreeCAD.
-Start FreeCAD.
-FreeCAD window is located at upper left corner of screen with previous window size but the window title bar is outside of screen
-This is unexpected.

TestCase#3:
-Initial condition: Repeat TestCase#1
-Move window so left side of window is touching left most of screen. Making sure it does not touch the top most of screen.
-Close FreeCAD.
-Start FreeCAD.
-FreeCAD window is now placed properly on desktop as last time it was closed.
-Note: If the distance of top edge of window is a distance shorter than height of title bar, then the next time it starts, the window title bar would be partially outside of screen.
-This is a bug here.

TestCase#4:
-Initial condition: Repeat TestCase#1
-Move window so top of window is touch top of screen. Left of window is not touching left of screen.
-Close FreeCAD.
-Start FreeCAD.
-the window title bar is outside of screen. Left edge of window is in proper place.
-This is unexpected.
