Video plays at 'wrong' coordinates #23

Closed thamnos closed 10 years ago

I've been using slider on my laptop with a presentation that contains a video. When there is no external monitor attached, the video plays at the correct position. When I connect an external monitor/projector, my screen gets expanded horizontally so that the projector is located on the right of the built-in monitor. While the slider presentation window pops up correctly on the external screen, the video plays on my built-in screen so that only I can see it.

Thanks for the report. I only occasionally use slider on a dual screen setup myself, so sometimes I miss regressions in this sort of behavior until it is reported. I will be using slider myself for a public presentation next Friday. That presentation will have a video and use an external display (projector). So, I'll definitely track this down by then.

I was not able to replicate this until I realized my external monitor always had lower coordinates (above or to the left) that the internal screen - so the external monitor was always at 0,0. I replicated the error as described when the external monitor was to the right or below the internal screen and added a fix that works here.

I also had a bunch of unstaged tinkering with form filling which came with this push - but this code shouldn't do anything yet - and I'm on the verge of removing it all anyways, we'll see.

In any case, please confirm whether this revision places video/media in the correct place.

Great - this also alerted me to the fact that there are still other bug reports I haven't finished yet ... I better get cracking.
