Frame Handling (UIParent vs absolute coordinates)

Issue:

Details utilizing absolute coordinates for frame handling causes unwanted interactions with other addons that manipulate UIParent (scaling, etc).

To Reproduce:

  • Set up window group and lock it.
  • Enable SurroundFix, viewport addons, etc.
  • After reload/relog see unwanted position of details window group.

Expected Behavior:

  • Manipulate UIParent
  • Have details move relative to UIParent
  • Retain positioning of details

For most people I'd suspect that there is no issue here at all and this would be considered to be more of a feature request maybe. That said, details' interactions with addons that manipulate the UIParent (SurroundFix, etc) cause positioning/anchoring issues that cannot be overcome without disabling the aforementioned addons. It's my understanding that the best practice for frame handling is using relative positioning to UIParent which may or not be the case in reality.

Thanks for your time, and thanks for a great addon.
