Magnifying glass offset in multi-head environment #191

Open madduck opened 3 years ago

madduck commented 3 years ago

I have a multi-monitor setup. When I start the magnifying glass with Ctrl-Shift-F9, the portion of the screen magnified is not that under the mouse pointer, but the same portion of the next screen over to the right, i.e. +1920 pixels.

See the photo. The mouse pointer is on the left screen, but the magnified area is on the right screen.

The magnifying glass only supports an orderly multi-screen setup. This means. The primary screen is on the left or top and all other screens are lined up to the right or below it.

Well spotted. My primary screen is actually the one in the middle, i.e. the right on the picture.

The code from the magnifying glass was very old, around 8 to 10 years. It has now been re-written from scratch. And now works better in multi-screen mode. Beta-04 available https://linuxecke.volkoh.de/vokoscreen/vokoscreen-download.html

I won't be back in the office to test this for a couple weeks, but I'll make an effort then to remember!

I tried it, and it seems to work well! Thank you!
