| Summary | 0021291: Multi-monitor: wide dialogs open on the wrong monitor | ||||
| Description | If the main MM window is running at the edge of a monitor, and the user launches a wide dialog (e.g. auto-tag), it'll sometimes appear on the wrong monitor. e.g. If there two monitors: Left (laptop); Right (main monitor) 1 Run MMW on main monitor 2 Select track and launch auto-tag 3 Set the dialog wide enough so that it displays all relevant fields (it must be wider than the MMW window) 4 Drag MMW to the laptop monitor 5 Open auto-tag --> it displays correctly on the laptop 6 Drag MMW to the main monitor (all the way to the left) 7 Open auto-tag --> dialog opens on the laptop instead of on the main monitor! | ||||

It turns out that this bug is a bit worse than originally understood as it's not a one-time occurence. i.e. if the MM dialog is at the left edge of the monitor, the auto-tag dialog will open on the wrong screen _every-time_ if it's wider than the MM window (even after the user has moved it to the main window). |

re-resolving. This was mistakenly re-opened. |
|
|
The issue is fixed in 3066. BUT -- every time the auto-tag dialog is opened after MMW has been closed, it resets to a narrow width! 1 Open MM 2 Open Auto-tag 3 Make the dialog wide 4 Cancel out 5 Open AUto-tag --> Dialog displays at the correct width 6 Cancel out 7 Close MM 8 Run MM 9 Open Auto-tag --> Dialog is narrow again! |
|
|
The original issue was fixed. The newly discovered problem is a separate issue re. dialog settings not being remembered. |

Verified 3067. |
