           Summary: Flash wIndow initially displays off screen
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.59.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: DouglasYMan at Yahoo.com

What I did:
I was working with Flash 8 on a external monitor. I shutdown flash, then
disconnected the external monitor.
When I started Flash back up, the work window was nowhere to be found (The
splash logo came up and the process was still running).

How I worked around it:
1. Re-attach external monitor, and restart Flash. Flash then displays on the
external monitor.
2. Emulate a virtual desktop, at a ridiculous resolution, so it looks like both
monitors are attached. Now when Flash opens, it will be in one of the corners
of the virtual desktop (If you would like; you can move the window, turn off
virtual desktop, restart flash; and it will position its self where you moved
the window to).

What I think happened:
Flash remembers where the window was last positioned, when it is closed. When
you open it, it tries to position its self where it was closed. If you had a
larger display size, when you last ran flash, it is quite possible that Flash
will now open off the screen (and you won't be able to Alt+Tab to it and move
it, without using wine's virtual desktop).

Desired behavior:
If Flash tries to start off of the screen, it gets repositioned to your current
display size.


FYI: first bug report, sorry if format of ticket is odd. Thanks!
