Summary	0021141: MultiMonitor: for some users MMW windows cannot be resized
Description	I'm unable to replicate this, but there are at least 2 reports of users being unable to resize the MMW window in a multi-monitor environment. In one of the cases, this is particularly severe as the MM Window is larger than the screen size. https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=105894 Ticket 7343
Tags	No tags attached.

Fixed in build	3052

Can move left and right correctly, but width of MM window is always a full monitor wide! I'm unable to replicate this, but am seeing a variant as described at 0021144:0076861

Generally it relates to scenarios in which the MM Window moves between the monitor (scale 100%) and the laptop (scale 150%). Case I: 1 Open laptop 2 Run MMW --> MM Window launches on laptop as expected (first image) 3 Close laptop --> MM Window appears on monitor as expected (2nd image) 4 Open laptop --> MM Window appears on laptop but is tiny (3rd image) and the [Minimize], [Restore], [Close] buttons don't work (due to a scaling issue) image.png (276,155 bytes) image-2.png (153,350 bytes) image-2.png (153,350 bytes) image-3.png (475,640 bytes)

(see image 4) image-4.png (153,609 bytes) image-4.png (153,609 bytes) image-5.png (145,055 bytes) image-5.png (145,055 bytes) image-6.png (105,447 bytes) image-6.png (105,447 bytes) image-7.png (181,722 bytes) image-7.png (181,722 bytes)

rusty 2024-09-17 03:18 administrator ~0076992	I think that what would be expected in most cases is that the scope remains the same (screen size permitting) when the Window switches between screens, and that the scale remains consistent on each of the screens (i.e. screen a always displays at scale A and screen b always displays at scale b).

rusty 2024-09-19 04:38 administrator ~0077054	Update: It seems that the above steps (Case I) can also trigger problems with dialogs. i.e. case I, step 5: Open the about dialog and attempt to 'Close' it --> the 'x' button no longer functions.
