Dialog box for adding tags to nodes/ways ‘creeps’ across the screen each time it is opened.

[iridium193@…]

What steps will reproduce the problem? ¶

1. Select a node or way;
2. Click on the ‘Add’ button in the tags sidebar box;
3. Add the required tags and click on ‘OK’, or click on ‘Cancel’, to close the dialogue box;
4. Repeat (depending on the screen resolution used this may take twenty or thirty iterations).

What is the expected result? ¶

The dialogue box should open up in the same position in which it was last closed.

What happens instead? ¶

The dialogue box opens slightly to the right and below its previous position; the cumulative effect being that the buttons on the box slowly disappear off the bottom of the screen, which means the dialogue box needs to be manually moved back onto the screen in order to use it.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible. ¶

Cannot reproduce with Windows, sounds like a window manager problem. Can you please tell me what's yours?

Don't find the ticket right now, but this has been reported before and should be fixed in more recent versions of Ubuntu.

#8387 ?

Yep, closing as dupe of #8387, thanks.
