Description
There is no way to determine screen coordinates of a node.

I could get coordinates of a node in Scene by localToScene method, I could get screen coordinates of a Stage.

But Scene.x and Scene.y are always 0.

So, if Stage.style is StageStyle.DECORATED there is a window border width (which affects x coordinate) and title height (which affects y).

This is a blocker for UI test automation.

This is not a "BLOCKER" in the usual sense of how we assign priority. Marking it as Critical and changing the issue type to "FEATURE". Whatever solution is done will need to work on mobile as well as desktop, and work with Applets as well as applications.

This is related to RT-3215 which is a request to make the insets (e.g., the size of the window decoration) available to the app. There may be other ways to solve this problem, but we need to be careful not to break compatibility.

Dmitri, we talked about it. This is high priority for SQE. Workarounds are ugly, as you know.
