Title:
  gtk application window resized bigger than screen makes the
  application useless

Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  GTK has a feature to resize the window so it fits the content. This is
  usually a good feature, but in case the content is bigger than the
  screen the window jumps back and forth by just left clicking. The only
  way to exit a such program is to press Alt+F4; the mouse can't be
  used. (Left clicking the close button makes the window jump.)

  The application QtOctave is one example. On a screen of 1024x600
  (netbook), this application can't be used. See Screenshots. I only
  press left mouse button between the images. If I press twice I get the
  same position of the window again.

  This happens also if you use Anjuta and have many tabs downwards.
