problem starting up on multi-monitor setup #220

Open TomRhysMarshall opened 4 years ago

TomRhysMarshall commented 4 years ago

Hi,

Very simple issue. When you start up HNN two windows appear ('param' and 'model schematics'), plus a little dialogue box that says 'Welcome to HNN! Default parameter file loaded. Press 'Run simulation' to display simulation output.' with a little 'run' button on it.

First time I started HNN that dialogue box opened offscreen, so I didn't know it was there. Because I didn't click 'run', nothing else worked, and I assumed something had gone wrong with the install. I think it opened offscreen due to my multi-monitor setup; when I re-opened it using one screen the dialogue box appeared just fine. So right now whenever I need to start up I have to disconnect my monitors, click the dialogue box then reconnect them again.

Thanks for reporting this @TomRhysMarshall. Yes, this makes sense and we've had trouble with multiple monitors before. We tried to fix this with 54d0cff913881ed9f8bf4279bf6131b28fd6da5a, but it seems that a better fix is in order.

No problem. Seems like a more general problem; I've also noticed a couple of other multi-monitor bugs e.g., drop-down menus opening offscreen.
