By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Francois Andriot 2014-08-06 14:57:46 CDT 
Hello, using R14 nightly build, on a dual screen computer, I have troubles with the location where the new windows appear.

How to reproduce:
1) Set TWIN window appearance behaviour to "smart".
2) Close all windows.
3) Open an application (in my case: Firefox) and let the window on the left screen.
4) On the right screen, right-click the desktop and choose "open terminal here".
=> The konsole opens on the left screen,top left corner, in front of Firefox window. The right screen is still empty.

5) Close konsole, and move Firefox to the right screen. There is no more window on left screen.
6) On the left screen, right-click on the desktop and choose "open terminal here".
=> The konsole opens on the right screen, top left corner, again in front of Firefox. The left screen is still empty.

7) Move the konsole to the left screen. Now there is konsole on the left, and Firefox on the right.
8) On the left screen, right-click on the desktop and choose "open terminal here".
=> The konsole opens on the correct location, right or left, depending on where there is more free space (this is the smart behaviour as expected).

There is something wrong when all active windows are on the same screen. It looks like new windows ignores the empty screen.
