[vbox-dev] [SPAM] 5.0.16 regression: window position not saved

[Santosh Kumar]

Hi,

Thanks for noticing the issue.
Our idea was to make off-screen windows to be *fully* visible again in 
consistent with default behavior on other platforms. However your patch 
does not take care of this fully.
We will fix this from our side.

Thanks and Best Regards
Santosh.
