Launcher fullscreen window off-center #41

Closed Ludonaut closed 7 years ago

Ludonaut commented 7 years ago

While testing #39 on my laptop I ran into some weird window repositioning.

The launcher window was oddly not at full screen resolution during its Not Responding state: notrespondingwindow

Ten seconds later: launcheroffcenter

This might be due to some weird external screen interaction (it's a 16:10 screen, hence the black bars) or just Windows 7 messing something up, I don't know.

Maybe there's a way the launcher could be more aggressive about keeping/restoring full screen resolution while keeping its window position fixed?

Is this happening on your actual arcade machine too? Is your laptop and machine running different versions of windows? There is a script that's supposed to be using Windows DLLs to align the window properly, but it's finicky. :/

Our arcade machine is running on Windows 7 too, for now, though as far as I can tell this window thing has never happened there.

FWIW this only happens on my external monitor (even in 'Projector only' mode), so I think this might just be a weird Windows bug related to how it's handling external monitors? I guess we can close this issue until we're able to reproduce this bug on an actual Winnitron.

Oh yeah that is a good possibility. I hadn't thought about taking more than one monitor into account. If it does happen on your machine, let me know!
