Position of new window on desktop

[willymacoy]

I have just got myself a 49" 4k monitor. I intended to work on the bottom half of the screen and use the top half for reference material.

When I open a new Thunderbird window (for example, when replying) it automatically opens at 0,0. Which is a long way away.

Is there a way that I can configure the position of new windows.

Thanks.

I really have no idea. On my computer (with two 1920 x 1200 screens on a Windows 10 platform), the main Thunderbird windows always open in the same place and the "Reply to" or "New message" window opens a little bit inside the main one (something like 150 px right and 50 px down). So I suspect it is either an issue specific to Linux or the screen is so large that one or more variables are out of bounds and reset to zero.

Its normally up to the windows manager or desktop environment (a superset of a windows manager), under Linux. As an example http://www.xfree86.org/4.4.0/twm.1.html describes what to do if you use twm as the windows manager.
