Various panes appearing outside the screen first time you toggle them on

Post by MedBooster »

When using a lower resolution VGA monitor and toggling the advanced search tool pane it sometimes appears outside the screen (with the upper bar outside as well, so that I can not drag it in)

However, when I resize the size of it from the bottom it does suddenly not exceed the perimeters of the screen (display) anymore, and the parts that were outside the screen are now inside – and I am able to move it around

So I suggest we skip this step, as it applies to other panes (floating ones, not fixed to the side, top or bottom)
So that the pane automatically does not exceed the edges. Though of course it's important to still allow panes to go out of the screen, like this stamp pane for example

though it is important to still allow pdf xce to remember the position of floating windows you toggle on and off!. I'm just saying it shouldn't "spawn" outside the screen first time you open the program and have not positioned the pane yet.

By the way, are positions off floating panes remembered when you save sessions? Or is that only for docked panes?

Hi Medbooster,

thanks for the feedback. In this scenario, is this one of multiple monitors or the only monitor and what resolution is it?
I want to try to reproduce the situation.

actually, it also happens on my laptop sometimes.
The monitor is 1080 p, and was the only active one at the time

Hi again Medbooster, I am very surprised at this, I would not have expected this to be happening at 1980 x 1080.

I run 2 1080p screens and have never seen this.

Do you have any scaling enabled in Windows?
Best regards
