When creating 2 forms the second form is inconsistent placed.
Depending on whether the forms are created sequentially
fl_set_form_geometry(form1, ...);
fl_show_form(form1, ...);
fl_set_form_geometry(form2, ...);
fl_show_form(form2, ...);
or mixed
fl_set_form_geometry(form1, ...);
fl_set_form_geometry(form2, ...);
fl_show_form(form1, ...);
fl_show_form(form2, ...);
and which placement flag is used the second form is positioned
differently. I'm only considering placement flags which should
respect the postion set by fl_set_form_geometry() and both forms have
the same geometry. I have seen 3 different placements for the second
form: 1) aligned with the 1st form; 2) Shifted up and to the left by
the size of the window decorations; and, 3) Random (changes each time
the code is run). I would perfer 1) across the board. I would rather
that the form position be off by the size of the decorations and be
consistently placed then have it inconsistently placed depending on
whether it's the first form or not and which placement flag is used.
Below is a table which summarizes the problem and a simple program
which demonstrates it. I'm using version 0.88 on linux 2.0.34 with
fvwm.
