I find quite annoying the fact that smart placement places windows on screen borders. If I have maximized windows, for example, I have to move smart-placed new-windows from the top of the screen to access the maximized window title bar, or the same thing for right scrollbars, etc... I put some lines into `placement.h/c` source to avoid this, but I know that's only a patch for my own comfort. For sure, a non-default option in config dialog would be better. I added these lines before the last two in smartPlacement() function: if (best_x < xmin + SMART_PLACEMENT_PADDING) best_x = xmin + SMART_PLACEMENT_PADDING; if (best_y < ymin + SMART_PLACEMENT_PADDING) best_y = ymin + SMART_PLACEMENT_PADDING; if (best_x > xmax - SMART_PLACEMENT_PADDING) best_x = xmax - SMART_PLACEMENT_PADDING; if (best_y > ymax - SMART_PLACEMENT_PADDING) best_y = ymax - SMART_PLACEMENT_PADDING; Where `SMART_PLACEMENT_PADDING` is defined in `placement.h` as 16. I don't know how this implementation is related or can affect similar still opened reports, such as #4621 and #9976.
