Keep dialogs inside visible monitor areas

[tonifelfe]

Ctrl-Q dialogs position is out of the visible are on 2nd monitor. Resizing the dialog fixes this but may be you can prevent this behaviour at the beginning.

You mean it restores its position on the 2nd monitor even if the 2nd monitor is off?

[tonifelfe]

no, both monitors are on. top left corner is outside the screen.

[admin]

The idea is that it restores its previous position. So that does not work?

No, that top left corner should be inside the screen. Could you do this, please:

Code: Select all

screen;

[tonifelfe]

I have tried. Opened XYplorer (on 1st screen), opened Ctrl-Q window (on 2nd screen?!), "screen;"-command - XYplorer crashes. No error message.

[admin]

No, I meant do screen; without any Ctrl-Q window opened. I just want to see the properties of your monitors.

But by doing what you did you found a good bug! Thanks for that, fix is coming...

So the dialog is positioned outside of the left monitor, so its horizontal position is smaller than -1366?

[tonifelfe]

yes

[admin]

Weird. I cannot see how this is possible.

What when you drag the dialog to a good position (so it's completely visible), then close it, then re-show it? It does not remember that position?

[tonifelfe]

Drawing a borderline snaps the dialog into visible canvas - but the dialog doesnt remember this nice position.

[admin]

Do you have a screenshot? It might give me an idea...

Okay, that helped. Should be fixed in next version.

BTW, next time please attach images within the forum, like this:
