Chain selection window off the screen

[MadPickinSkills]

Hello,

Has anyone else had problems with the chain selection window popping up off the screen? I can see the edge of it off the screen but I can't drag it back on to use it.

 

Thanks

No, but you can go into the applet and use the reset dialogs and that should help.

K2,

I tried what you said to do, but it didn't work. It looks like after I close the Advanced Config window, I open it again and it has set back to "Do Not Reset".

 

Thanks though.

I went into my graphics card control panel (nVidia) and checked the box that says "Prevent windows from opening offscreen" but that didnt help either.

I was haveing the same problem. I used K2's solution and it is working so far. The only thing I did different was click apply,(Blue +) before I Green checked out? I also noticed that it was an intermittent problem in my situation anyway.

 

Thanks K2csq7!

Mad Picking Skills,

Are you, or have you ever, used more than one monitor with the computer in question.

You could try this old method....

 

1) bring up the chaining window (select Analyze Chain for example)

2) press the left "ALT" key on your keyboard (down by the spacebar)

3) press the letter "M" on the keyboard (short for "move")

4) hold down the right cursor/arrow key for a couple of seconds

5) press the Enter key (and not Escape!)

 

 

This should move the chaining window into view if it's hidden to the left of your screen.
