what happens after minimising google chrome.. minecraft resizes and centers itself

Can confirm for minimizing other windows, but not for resizing.

I think this might be an issue in LWJGL, we'll have to investigate.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

Temporary work around! (windows 7, MC version 1.6.2)

If you don't fling the minecraft window to a side of the screen, but instead manually resize each side to where ever you like (without letting windows 7 size it for you) it will hold that position.

to test just hover over the edge of the window, click and hold when you see the "<->" symbol, move your mouse in whatever direction, then switch between programs and back. Minecraft will stay the same size. repeat this for each side to get the desired size and position.

So anoying, you cant let Minecraft use half of your screen, while switching between Minecraft and a youtube tutorial on the other half

This is a LWJGL issue, please report it on https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl/issues"

Done..... https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl/issues/53

This is fixed in the nightly builds of LWJGL and will be part of the LWJGL 2.9.1 release (in the mean time you can use the nightly builds of LWJGL). Therefore this bug will be fixed in Minecraft as soon as they upgrade the LWJGL version.
