Stickies and "sticking", so to speak...

[Gambit]

Hey, Mac mates!

Ok, this has been irritating me for enough of time. I need to vent and ask if there is anyone kindly enough to give me a tip to:

...make the app. Stickies remember where I left them (location on the screen) after I quit and reopen them again.

As it is now they appear in a mess on the screen even after I have placed them where they "should" be on the screen.
That is how I want them to remain but for some reason Apple has taken away this logical (to me, anyways) feature.

If I recall it this feature (to remember the last placement on the screen when relaunching it) was possible or even automaticly.
My mind may play trixies with me but that's how I remembered it. Yes?

So...anyone has a tip?
Because in the preferences of Stickies I find no such choice button.

Cheers!

Its not much help in fixing your problem but you are right, stickies should open again where they were placed when you last quit stickies, at least on my 'puter; I've just tested it to make sure!

there's no preference for remembering their last location, it just does - or not in your case.

Hmm... Yeah, I only see misplaced stickies when I connect/disconnect a second monitor...

I've read about this somewhere recently and there was a thread like 40 posts long with a myriad of uninformed suggestions about deleting certain files and stuff. In the end, however, it was the consenus that Stickies for OSX has a bug.

When the notes are minimized their screen location is lost on a reset. Only if the notes are opened up are their positions stored.

Indeed, I have the same problem. There seem to be lots of "problems" with system software that haven't been fixed (like choosing background colour in TextEdit or being able to chose the drag option as default on Preview [not to mention that the keyboard zoom ain't working on OS10.3]... et cetera).

Oh yeah. One more tidbit about Stickies (for those with a damaged laptop that is dubiously unreliable [iBooks can't seem to handle pot holes (((( ]) a note is not stored on the drive until it is taken out of focus. Therefore, it will be lost if you get a crash unless you click another window, or Finder, into focus first.

Woha! Thank's for that info. I had no idea that this actually is a bug.
Good to know how to handle the stickies in the future as well.

Again, ta!

Keyboard zoom not working? Do you mean in Adobe's apps by using Cmd-Space? It works fine if you go to your Trackpad's settings and put things right. ;-)
