Q: Eclipse window relocation on Sierra

I've just updated my MacBook to macOS Sierra. I've got this weird problem with Eclipse where every time I try to open anything with autocomplete (Cmd+Mouse Hover) or even if I just hover over an element that has attached Javadoc, the console window which I keep on my second monitor, snaps over to...

Not limited to four times

e.G trump steaks trump mortgage trump university and countless failed real estate projects

yep, best candidate for a president - runs the country into bankruptcy, packs bag leaves the office & finds another venture

tbh though, I don't care about his long history of fraud and corruption, thats par for the course in one way or another for US politicians. I do care about the fact that he's openly advocating political terorrism and international war crimes as well as is considering using nuclear weapons on the middle east

Jason C

For some reason I'm super worried about internet rights issues with Clinton. I feel like she's the kind of person who would be too ignorant to fight and changes or even notice that they were being tacked on to other bills.

Magisch

Maybe

but trump is openly against net neutrality

and for widespread internet censorship

Jason C

Like I don't think she's a bad person, but she's a fierce politician and I think she could pretty easily get taken advantage of by the senate while she's distracted pandering to the public about whatever.

Yeah but hes open about it. I'm banking on all of his crazy ideas being stopped by the system, and counting on him not missing any shady stuff. I feel like clinton is just an empty, robotic politician.

Lol yeah I'm so sick of all those Canadians coming down here and stealing our uh... Stanley cups.

banking on crazy idea is only a sound decision if the person you are banking on is trust worthy & responsible

@JasonC To be honest, I haven't a clue how the games are going.

They're too far away. Out of sight, out of mind.

Besides, we all know they'll beat the Americans black and blue.

Like they did, well, about 45 years ago.

Well Ottawa took one home in 2006 at least.

Oh, Ottawa. Could be. I just know the Canadiens haven't done much for the past couple dozen years until a couple years ago with Carey Price

I caught the end of the Pens game on Saturday and I intend to go in full effect on Thursday. I didn't follow this year's draft.

Yeah Montreal hasn't been in the finals since 93, they're still legends though.

Also I lied Ottawa was in the finals but didn't win. Jeez guess it has been a while. An amusing lesson in hockey stereotypes, haha.

Looks like the last Canadian team in the final was the Canucks in 2011.

There are users with avatar icons that have transparent background (example). I’ve also made an avatar icon that’s a PNG with transparent background. When I upload it into my profile, the areas that are supposed to be transparent are displayed as black (here)‌. What did I do wrong?

@Shog9 Would the imgur be able to deal with transparency, if I manually resize the image?
