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 | ||||

The user at ticket 7343 is still observing this issue i.e. - after deleting persistent.json and restarting MM, can resize in any dimension correctly, move from monitor to monitor, completely functional. - stop and restart MM, can resize left-right, however CANNOT resize to less than one full monitor width. 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 |

I've never been able to replicate the issue reported by the user, but with build 3054 (and I don't think that this is a regression) there seem to be other cases in which scaling of the MM window is broken. 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) |
|
Case II: A similar issue to the one above can be replicated by moving the MM window between screens as follows: 1 Run MMW --> MM Window launches on monitor as expected 2 Open laptop --> MM Window appears on monitor as expected (2nd image) 3 Drag MMW window to laptop screen --> MM Window appears on laptop but is tiny! 4a Drag MMW window to monitor screen --> MM Window appears on monitor as expected (same as image 1) 4b (if this is done instead of 4a) Close laptop lid --> MM Window appears scaled up on laptop! (see image 4) |
|
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). |
|
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. |
