Bug#989278: atril: window may appear almost completely off-screen after the monitor config changes

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: atril
Version: 1.24.0-1
Severity: important

Atril remembers the last window position for the PDF file to open
(incorrectly, though: Debian bug 978549). But when the monitor config
changes, typically with a laptop when an external monitor is sometimes
used, the window may appear almost completely off-screen (I suspect
that it may appear completely off-screen). The consequence is that it
is difficult, if not impossible, to retrieve the window.

Atril should detect this issue and/or provide an option to ignore the
last window position.
