Window doesn't restore to same location #4012

Low priority, minor bug. Effects Windows 7 64bit. (Other OS's/versions untested)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Areo snap Bitcoin-QT to the right side of the monitor. (1440 x 900)
2. Close Bitcoin-QT. (Goes to system tray)
3. Double click the icon in system tray to restore.

Result: Restores about 100 pixels to the right of its last location. Some of the window is not visible because it is hanging off the right side of the screen.

Expected result: The window should restore to the last location before it was closed.

I can't replicate this. Could you post some screenshots. If this is a bug, it is likely to be a Windows bug not a bug in Bitcoin Core.

While taking the screenshots, I figured it out a bit more and this is probably a windows bug. This only occurs if the last action preformed on the window was an Areo snap. If the last action was just a traditional move, it restores to the last location. If the last action was an Areo snap, it restores to the location before the Areo snap.

I'm guessing that Bitcoin could work around this, but it probably wouldn't be worth it.

We don't do anything special to restore the window position, but instead make use of Qt's hide/show window functionality. These calls are supposed to keep the window in the same place on the screen. This is either a Qt or windows bug.

You could try out if it is the same for other Qt applications, and if so, make a minimal proof of concept and file it as upstream Qt bug (http://qt-project.org/wiki/ReportingBugsInQt).
