Re-Playing network game on external monitor doesn't work on the same monitor #905

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
Version: 0.9.21
OS: ubuntu 14.10 amd64

Steps to reproduce:
1) join a room where somebody is playing online
2) move the window on the external monitor
3) wait for the race finish.
4) don't touch anything, wait for a new game start
5) the game will restart on the *main* monitor, rather than on the external one.

bug or feature?

:)

It is your WM responsibility IMHO. Usually it would place newly created windows 
on the monitor with currently active window.

Was thinking that too...  My guess is that he has the frontend on the left 
monitor.
Might be possible for him to define which window hwengine launches on in his WM.

I wonder how this will all be handled if people want both windows running, once 
hwengine is integrated with the frontend.

I don't know, now seems to work correctly, just sometimes

I have the frontend on the external monitor, it is just like that somebody it 
spawns a new window (when the game restarts) on the monitor with an active 
focus, rather than on the monitor with the engine running...
