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.

I can confirm this! its so annoying too! im in the latest snapshot and i was building something while watching a video on how to build it, and when i switched it made the game back to its normal size 😞... oh and im happy to see a fellow Windows 8 user! and how funny, but i use the same task bar color as you! (And the bars around things) i use the White with it as transparent as i can, so its pretty much transparent 😃

Confirmed in 1.6.1.

I am trying to play minecraft and i always get it stuck to the center

Robert "Knight" 2013-07-09T07:55:45Z

Confirmed in 1.6.2.

Mr_Big_Mac_Joe 2013-07-13T17:26:03Z

Confirmed again in 1.6.2 for Windows 7.

Nick Friedrich 2013-07-28T05:55:40Z

Confirmed! Its too annoying when I can`t watch netflix and have minecraft consistently covering my screen.

Chandler Newman 2013-08-13T12:44:11Z

I am confirm that when i click back on to the game it goes into the center. It is not an LWJGL issue, it is something to do with the changes they have made to the jframe/frame... I am guessing it is part of the new launcher changes...

Confirmed! Even when i'm playing the minecraft window resize. It's very annoying....

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 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.
