045 - Main window on second screen not accessible if screen has gone

[AlbertR 542]

Bug Description

• Try the following
  • Use a second monitor
  • move main EN-Windows to that second monitor
  • close EN
  • remove second monitor
  • re-start EN
• EN starts but is invisible because it keeps placed on second (now never existing) monitor

---

Expected behaviour

• EN has to measure actual monitor size(s) on startup.
• If saved window placement is outside available monitor space, adjust placement to assure the window is visible
  • at least the upper right corner of the window has to be visible to enable further changes...

---

Workaround

• Plug in second monitor, move EN to main monitor and remove second

---

I've not tried removing monitors and whatnot but I have found that EN sometimes forgets which monitor its on when minimised, goes back to th eprimary monitor so maybe this is part of the same issue.

I left a bug report about it.

Could you (any of course others) please mention support ticket #s here (if it's a "normal" bug report)? I'll add the numbers to my notes that I maintain along with the postings. On a long run this should help you and others (including support) to keep tickets and postings in sync 😉. THX

Workaround - use Windows key + arrow keys to move window left or right.

THX - but this does not work if you use special windows arrangement programs like MaxTo because they often re-bind WIN-Arrow keys to shift windows only to the left, right, upper and lower side of a screen without changing the screen.

And: You have to select your hidden EN window first - difficult 😉

Better: EN fixes the bug...
