I agree this set up of window positioning is much less useful than actual tiling window managers.

This sounds horrible.. In general all these html->pdf ways of generating pdfs sounds horrible -- why don't people use latex for this?

Memory is not cheap for your users. If your webapp (or worse webpage) burns through their memory they will come to regard it as slow, bloated and heavy and close the tab never to return.

In general yes. I did mention that I think wine is awesome. But it has bugs and the windows APIs it translates are tricky. I assume that the behavior in the re-highlight test is due to a bug. We don't know if this is due to bug in wine
