Fix funky default window position in Safari
Authored by: frankko on Sep 25, '03 11:17:17AM

It's called cascading, and it's definitely a feature. What's interesting is that the submitter of the hint (and apparently many others, from what is implied) thinks it's a bug, considering this is how every app on the Mac behaves.

Create a bunch of new windows in the Finder, each one will open down and to the right of the previous. Open a bunch of documents in Photoshop or BBEdit, they'll all open down and to the right of each other.

So... is it only a "problem" in Safari? Or am I missing something?

It is a bug - what happens is the first window to appear after launching the app always opens offset to the right instead of in the top left corner of the screen, no matter how much you reposition it. It has nothing to do with cascading which is what occurs (naturally) once you open more windows.
