Bug ? Design Implementation

If this is a bug it is probably a P7 or higher. By default, the Device
toolbar is the only toolbar listed under the Views/Toolbars menu which is
not turned on the first time Audacity is launched. If one turns the Device
toolbar on it almost always floats at the very top left of the screen. The
only exception is when you maximize the project window before turning on the
toolbar. After once docking the Device toolbar, subsequent launches remember
to keep it docked. I turned it on and it floated in the top left corner; on
my high-resolution monitor it simply disappeared in the clutter. I think it
should default to being docked just like all the other toolbars.

What does the code suggest happens? It docks for me on Win XP 1024x768  
after starting with an initialised .cfg, and even when dragging the window to the
minimum permitted size (both when Device Toolbar was already visible and when
enabling it after dragging to minimum size). It appears underneath the Edit Toolbar
and Transcription Toolbar.

Same result on Linux.

Repeated tests on Windows 7 invariably result in a floating Device toolbar
until that toolbar has been manually docked thereafter it stays docked. If
someone else can confirm this behavior with a new install of Audacity on
Vista or Windows 7 I will look into the code.

Docked here.  Try removing the [GUI/ToolBars/Device] section of
audacity.cfg and seeing what happens.

Off-list, Vidyashankar, Ed and myself came to the conclusion it's
replicable by launching Audacity on a clean .cfg, OK language
and splash screen, exit and relaunch, then enable Device Toolbar.

After the exit, .cfg has
[GUI/ToolBars/Device]
Dock=0
Order=0
Show=0
X=-1
Y=-1
W=604
H=27

Intervening to change the "Dock" value to "1" enforces the docking on
relaunch.

Once again, we have a situation where we have negative values for X and Y.

Should be a fairly trivial fix then, and not a show-stopper, so I'll
leave that one with you guys.
