Bug#673333: vlc: logic for window position is broken: window is sometimes partly off-screen

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: vlc
Version: 2.0.1-4+b2
Severity: normal

VLC's logic for the window position is broken, leading to a window that
is sometimes partly off-screen. Here's a way to reproduce the problem:

1. Make sure you have a long playlist open.
2. Make sure View → Docked Playlist is ticked.
3. Show the playlist (if not already done).
4. Maximize the window height.
5. No longer show the playlist (Ctrl-L).
6. Reduce the window height.
7. Show the playlist (Ctrl-L).

→ The window height is automatically increased and the window can be
partly off-screen. (A)

8. No longer show the playlist (Ctrl-L).
9. Move the window upward or downward.
10. Show the playlist (Ctrl-L).

→ The window height is automatically increased and the window can be
partly off-screen. (B)

Compared to (A), the window position has changed in the same way the
reduced window has changed in (9).
