Bug found

["Steven W. Stoner" <stoner () who net>]

Hello all,

 

I just installed your version 1.7.0 SVN Rev 39768 from /trunk and started
the application.  There is an error you have in initial window placement,
which is difficult to resolve in Windows 7.  The problem is that on a two
monitor system, you appear to always position the window at position 0,0.
On a single window system this is no problem, but on a dual monitor system,
when the leftmost monitor has a smaller resolution than the right monitor,
and when it does not have the same top position as the right monitor, one is
unable to see or move the window and the title bar and in my case the menu
bar and a good portion, down to the interface list, is not visible.  

 

One would say to hit Alt+Space to open then system menu and select move, but
that does not work on windows 7.  Also a right click on the icon in the
taskbar would bring up the system menu.  That does not work in windows 7
either.  I finally searched and found that Shit + right click the icon in
the task bar brought up the system menu so I could select move and
reposition the window so it was visible.

 

I would suggest letting the windows system itself handle the initial
placement of the window.  This occurs each time it is opened also.  It does
not remember the last position it was in when used, so this must be done
each time the window is opened.  If you need any help, send me a code
snippet on the original window placement, including the resource for the
object.  I hope this is helpful and if you need any more assistance with
this, or would like a new version tested to see if fixed, then feel free to
contact me.  You have my contact details here.

 

 

 

Best wishes,

 

Steven W. Stoner
