Weird behaviour if you disconnect a screen #325

DieNand commented 4 years ago

After disconnecting my external monitor from my laptop and connecting to the server the window disappears (as if still trying to display on the other screen).

This even happens after a reboot with the external monitor still disconnect.

Try running Syncplay with the --clear-gui-data command line switch and see if that fixes it.

DieNand commented 4 years ago

Ah thanks, yeah that fixed it!

Just for curiosity sake: what window manager/OS even allows such behavior?

DieNand commented 4 years ago

Windows 10. 🤦‍♂️

Yes, this is a known Windows issue. There is even a page at https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/181691/some-programs-are-displayed-off-the-screen which describes a number of workarounds to resolve the issue. I have now added the issue and the workarounds to https://syncplay.pl/guide/trouble/ for if anyone else has the same problem.
