I've tried changing the global default and also tried setting individual applications back to the lower left corner where I want it.

No change seems to be accepted.

Anyone else having this issue and are there any suggestions?

Thanks!

Just tested on a second Mac...same behavior: Growl 2.0 running both on 10.8.1 and 10.8.2

Bummer :-/

Well first off we need to know what display style you are using.

Smoke...but it appears to not be related to the display style...

So you've tried other display styles?

Yep...tried them all.  All appear in the upper right no matter which corner is checked, except Bezel which appears in the bottom center...but again...even bezel is unaffected by any change to default location.

Thanks...good news...I think I found a temporary work-around:

It's weird...but it works.

If you go into the display tab on prefs and select a style...then hit preview...then change the global to that style...then hit preview again...it seems to stick.

That said, I'm really unclear why there is both a pull down for Default Style and a selectable scrolling list of styles and actions.  Regardless...this list of styles on the left seems to be the key...combined with the preview button.  I said it was weird...but I've confirmed it works on two different Macs.

I have a second question...which I'll also post separately.

Is there a way to set the default time for when a regular notification remains on screen.  There used to be an option to indicate the screen was idle after, say, 30 seconds.  I can no longer find that option and it seems that the only way I can have a notification persist after the screen is idle for a bit is to reduce the Rollup timer to 30 seconds.  Is this by design or am I missing a setting?

I have been unable to reproduce this issue, having gone straight from
a dev build to the app store build, without touching any containers or
files.

As for the plugins UI, it is something we want to redo, but we need
the right idea first. For now it got a slight rearrangement to
support actions and displays. The list on side is as it has been for
quite awhile, a list of configurations that you can select to bring up
their preferences for editing them. The pop up/pull downs at the top
are for selecting the global default display/actions. We know this
causes some confusion, we just haven't had the right idea strike for
fixing it.

Hello! So, we have found the source of this bug, and it has been
squashed for 2.0.1.  For the time being, the work around is to modify
some setting(s) on your plugin(s).  The lack of settings was causing
us to have nothing to add the position setting to when we passed it to
the plugin.

The workaround works if I want to set the global position to another corder. However, it does not seem to work if I want to change a single application to display in a non-global corner. For example, if I have the default starting position to the upper right corner but change the growlnotify app to be the lower right corner then growlnotify popups are still in the upper right. Is there a fix/workaround for this?
