Bug, battlescribe opens outside of desktop when switching monitor layout #243

Open laszlogasd opened 2 years ago

laszlogasd commented 2 years ago

The steps I took are the following:

  1. Put battlescribe's window to a second monitor
  2. Close battlescribe
  3. Switch the monitor layout
  4. Open battscribe again

It opens to the direction of the second monitor's previous layout. If I switch the layout back, it opens on the second monitor again, whether running or closed. This issue does not happen if switching the layout while battlescribe is running, only if the layout is switched while closed. It's also not in effect if battlescribe is left on the main monitor. The battlescribe window being maxised or not makes no difference.

I have no information if this happens with 3 or more monitors, I would guess it does.

Suggestion is to open battlescribe on the main window if the layout is switched, if possible.

I had 2 monitors and recently had to swap to one monitor. This meant that when I closed Battlescribe on my second monitor ages ago, it was trying to launch to a monitor that was not there.

The only fix I found is to go to "Users>[name]>.battlescribe" and change the "roster-editor-xpos" in the XML file to 0.0

So it would seem that the reopening of Battlescribe to exactly where it was closed, can cause some problems in a very niche situation.
