Problem with two screens on Mac OS 10.6.7 #1

Closed thlengge closed 13 years ago

thlengge commented 13 years ago

With my two screen setup I never see the SAML tracer window. The Firefox Menu 'Window' shows an entry for 'SAML tracer', but I cannot activate it and it does not show, also not with Expose. On my MacBookAir with the same software versions and a single screen I see the SAML tracer window.

I used SAML Tracer 0.1, Firefox 4.0.1, Mac OS X 10.6.7 on an iMac7,1 with ATI,RadeonHD2600

My guess is that the window is positioned off-screen in the dual-monitor case.

Can you confirm that the Firefox "Error console" (available in the tools menu) opens properly? If that is the case, I can try to replicate the method that it uses to open.

The ErrorConsole as well as Live HTTP Headers opens properly when my Firefox window is on the main screen (the one with the Mac OS X menu bar). My secondary screen is to the left of the main screen and there I usually have my browser windows. So probably the negative coordinates are the cause of the problem.

However, I can no longer test whether SAML tracer would now open on the main screen since I upgraded to Firefox 5 and SAML tracer is not compatible with 5, according to Firefox.

Firefox 5 compatibility should be updated now.

thlengge commented 13 years ago

Great, thanks for the update.

Indeed, with the broswer window being on the main screen, it works, as soon as the browser window is on the second screen left to the main screen, the SAML traer window does not show.

Thomas, can you confirm if you are using exact the same display arrangment as this? And also that your Firefox window is on your secondary display when you open the saml tracer?

I managed to reproduce with this arrangement. But I also had the same problem with the page info window and the error console. Can you confirm that you also have the same problem with these two built-in windows? If so, this is probably a generic bug on Firefox for Mac OS X.

And Olav found this:

And from bugzilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644733

As this looks like a generic problem for new windows on Mac OS X, I don't really think it is something that we can solve in a good way in this extension.

thlengge commented 13 years ago

Yes, indeed. This is the setup that caused my problems.

thlengge commented 13 years ago

Thanks for nailing this down to this reason.

Hope some of their developer really takes care for it as the last comment on that bug suggests.
