B3: Main window size is wrong
« on: September 10, 2019, 09:07:43 PM »
When I leave Slick, it is maximized on a large monitor.
I quit and start again.

Now slick is in the top-left of the screen and only about 720x510 pixels.
It *is* in the maximized state though - so I cannot resize from the bottom-right corner.
When I drag the window it pops out of maximized state.


repro:
Run slick.
Resize main window to smallish.
Maximize.
Exit
Start again
- It starts maximized, but at the small size - weird.

Try reproducing this with a clean config.

Post your help about. I'm wonder what monitors you have.

Does not happen with a clean config.
I just shared my config with Mike, so you can get a copy from him if interested.

Help-> About shows only 2 monitors.
I have 2 externals, plus the laptop monitor.
2 2560x1440
1 1600x900.

If only two monitors are displayed, that's not good. So far, when this has happened, we have not been able to reproduce it. This is the first one I've seen on Windows. Maybe this is more likely to happen on specific laptops with certain external monitors attached.

Try moving your vrestore.slk out of the way and starting SlickEdit.

I get the same thing with a clean configuration -- just 2 monitors listed.
Actually -- the above was a clean configuration
    Configuration Directory: C:\Users\jporkka\Documents\Slickedit3\24.0.0
But I get the same with my old very dirty configuration.

Moving your vrestore.slk out of the way won’t fix the monitors but may fix the autorestore issue

If Windows 10 has a visual arrangement dialog, posting a picture of that might be very helpful. With that, we might be able to figure why we can't find all your monitors.

Attached is a program I've written a small program to list your monitors. Please run it from a Terminal and post the output.

Thanks

Very helpful. Thanks. All your monitors should be detected for beta 4. I'm not sure if this will fix the auto-restore problem though.
