How to Set "IGNORE" for All Thunderbird Compose Windows #33

Closed moore-bryan closed 1 year ago

moore-bryan commented 1 year ago

There doesn't seem to be a way, or I am completely missing it, to set Smart Auto Move to always ignore the Thunderbird compose window and allow it to remain at the default location; that is, for some reason the compose window snaps to the right side of my screen, becomes unmovable unless I maximize it, and turning off the extension completely allows it to behave normally. In "Overrides," there's no way to add anything like "Thunderbird Write" and there is a different listing for each compose window I've ever used in the "Saved Windows" tab.

I appreciate any help.

Fedora 36 with GNOME Shell 42.5, Wayland, and Kernel 5.19.16-200.fc36.x86_64.

Are you using Static Workspaces? Settings > Multitasking > Workspaces > Static Workspaces

Thanks for the suggestion and the link... Just changed it from "Dynamic workspace" to "Fixed number of workspaces," rebooted, and the behavior remains.

@moore-bryan the solution should be to visit the Saved Windows tab and click OVERRIDE (ANY) on any of the Thunderbird rows. then visit the Overrides tab and change the behavior to IGNORE.

there is currently no other way to choose a window or application eg. by searching through a list of applications or selecting the window by point-and-click. it's on the roadmap though!
