| Dec 21, 2013 at 18:55 | comment | added | swis24 | Yes, I'm using Flexiglass, but I don't think it's affecting the apps. I did quit it though, then saved the correct coordinates for Mail in DefaultWindowState: 1680 -23 1280 969 1680 -57 1280 1002, then logged out, and it still jumps back to: 2080 -25 1280 970 1680 -57 1280 1002. On Maps, same thing. you can see, each app's window jumps 400px to the right. this effectively aligns it with the right edge if the display/space was 1680x1050, but it is only 1280x1024, so it moves it off-screen. | |

The Mail main window state is stored in the DefaultWindowState key, but that key is a dictionary. It has a windowFrame key contained within it which is where the data is actually stored. Unfortunately defaults doesn't seem to be able to directly modify these, so it's up to you to parse the DefaultWindowState key yourself. Maps, I'm not sure. Can you do a defaults read on the Maps main window each time you launch it after it moves and see if it changes? Also, are you by chance using any applications that manipulate windows, like SizeUp, Moom, Better Touch Tool, Keyboard Maestro, etc.?

| Dec 20, 2013 at 21:06 | comment | added | swis24 | are you saying the main Mail Viewer Window pref is uneditable? I cannot find it in the plist. what does it mean that it is in a sub key? | |
| Dec 20, 2013 at 21:05 | comment | added | swis24 | thank you, i wrote out a new position for Maps, then tried logging out / restarting. It isn't remembering my pref. I'm having a problem with Maps, Mail, Calendar, Finder- they are all shifting a few inches to the right every time i open them, effectively pushing them off-screen. Any ideas why this is happening? --i have 'displays have seperate spaces' enabled, and these apps are assigned to display 2. my displays are different resolutions. | |
