Description (last modified by bill)

When user scrolls browser page (or resizes the window), don't re-center the Dialog. Make it stay constant w.r.t the viewport. Rationale: if the user has moved the dialog they probably want it to stay where they moved it.

There's some debate on what the best behavior for this is (see #4470), but this approach seems like the majority opinion.

Taken from phiggins' suggestion in #4470, as well as the ​IBM Design Leadership recommendations.

See also #6563. Dustin's alternate suggestion to "don't re-center on browser resize" is "don't re-center on browser resize *if* the user has dragged the dialog"

(In [13355]) Enhance Dialog so:

  • if the user has moved the dialog then don't recenter it on browser window resize or scroll. Rather, treat it as though it's position:fixed. (fixes #6502)
  • add draggable initialization parameter, to (optionally) prevent dialogs from being dragged (fixes #6563)

Patch from Peter Higgins.
