[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56110] Setting figure position is ignored when set before the figure is drawn

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #17, bug #56110 (project octave):

I think the system/window-manager dependant behavior may well be explained by
a race condition: the creation of Figure objects is synchronous, but not its
updates. 

When the "position" is changed from the interpreter using "set", the Figure
object changes geometry and posts back the actual size it managed to reach.
Since that happens asynchronously in the GUI thread, the new graphics event
may or may not have already been posted at the time "drawnow" is called from
the interpreter thread. IOW sometimes "drawnow" will only find one event in
the queue, the one posted *during* "figure" call, sometimes it will also  find
the event posted *after* "set".
