xNote window completely disappeared, reset does not work #105

Closed pirx7 closed 1 year ago

pirx7 commented 1 year ago

TB 91.13.1, xnote 3.3.2, win 10 xnote has been freshly installed. It seems to be similar to the error "Notes window disappears if moved too quickly. #20" But the workaround does not work.

On 2 out of 3 emails the notes window has now completely disappeared (probably due to slow moving) and cannot be restored by reset with "note's position can be reset to the default location using the context menu in the message list". So no editing is possible anymore. In the eMail itself the notes are still there. Also a TB restart does not help.

Today after about 24h tried again, now I could reset one of the 2 corrupt xnotes. The other one still remains gone. The difference was that it had a keyword. But even after removing the keyword with the context menu the reset didn't work.

I once played with the window movements. Slow or fast doesn't matter. They disappear rather randomly in nirvana. If one goes into the Notes by editor, the following shows up: (The blanks here are displayed as "NUL" in the editor = 00 in hex). A) 62091620250 200 2022-11-20... not visible (position moved with mouse, now nirvana) B) 1878377 250 200 2022-11-20... visible (position moved with mouse) C) 1700250 250 200 2022-11-20... visible (original position)

Obviously at A) the coordinates were shot and at least one "NUL" is lost.

Changed with a real hex editor HxD as follows: A) 1000250�250�200� 2022-11-20... This makes the xNote window visible again. So for absolute cases of emergency a way back. But this can not be called a workaround. At least the reset function must be fixed to be absolutely reliable. Otherwise I can/will not use this nice AddOn.

fast 'throwing' a note out of the visible screen, I can confirm that it cannot be reset, fortunately there is a red error in the error console, so a place to start debugging.
