As some noted already many internal programs have a wrong allineament when iconified, this thread try to list all the involved programs that are affected by this .. i hoped to see them fixed in final update (as that are an old issue) but sadly all still the same

An example: http://postimg.org/image/6bqb8cj7l/

This is the list of the involved utility:

Sys:Prefs:
AmigaInput
Notifications
WBStartup

Sys:System:
Media ToolBox
Shell
FormatCDRW

Sys:Utilities
IconEdit
LogViewer
ShowConfig
Exchange (in "Commodities" directory)

Still to say that we have also some utilitied without any iconification gadget, for example the "ScreenBlanker" in SYS:Prefs, would be cool to add one on them

What is wrong?

@tonyw

What is wrong?

Did you see the grab above ?
The "AmigaInput" icon should be placed just below the "NO NAME" icon, instead it will be iconified elsewhere

The icon's do_CurrentX and do_CurrentY fields are not set to NO_ICON_POSITION as they should be, so instead of iconifying to the first free position on the desktop it will iconify to where the program icon has been snapshotted.

When I iconify the console, its AppIcon appears in the "next place" on the WB, but that may be because it can't get to where it wants to.

I'll write a BZ to remind me to add it to the IWorkbench->AddAppIcon() call.

BZ #9105.

Tony as you are here please can you open a specific ticket for every single program i've listed in this thread ?
I fear they will forgotten (as very often may happen with a bugreport)

So excluding your shell remain the fix those:

AmigaInput
Notifications
WBStartup
Media ToolBox
IconEdit
LogViewer
ShowConfig
Exchange (in "Commodities" directory)

Thanks

That's not a good idea as some programs allow the app icon to be snappshotted into a specific place on the WB screen like LimpidClock for instance. This would be impossible if AddAppIcon() always forced the position to NO_ICON_POSITION.

Rather the programs in question should be fixed or possibly window.class.

Tony's BZ is for (his own) console.

Best regards,

@betatester

Anyone availible for opening a separate ticket for each programs listed above ?

I just read the BZ entry and as you say it is filed correctly.
