Windows move downward when unplugging external monitor from iBook
Authored by: joewiz on Nov 06, '06 10:10:43AM

I have an iBook (G4 1.33 GHz), and while I haven't enabled screen spanning, I do wonder if you've had this problem when you disconnect the iBook from your external screen:

Whenever I plug and unplug my VGA adapter plug, any open windows in the frontmost application are moved downward about a line (in other words, the height of the title bar). Unplugging then replugging thus moves windows down the equivalent of two title bar heights. (This always happens unless the window in question is already brushing up against the dock; in that case, the window can't move any lower and stays put.)

Does this happen to you or anyone else? It's annoying because I like to keep my windows flush against the menu bar. If I don't move them back up, they'll eventually crawl down to the bottom of the screen! I've searched the web in vain for anyone confirming this, and I've posted here on the forums and on the Apple Discussions with no response.

By the way, I'm using an iBook G4 1.33 Ghz 12", Mac OS X (10.4.8), 1 GB DDR SDRAM, and an external VGA screen at home and at work.

I have the same problem on a PB 12" G4. Very tedious.
