Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 54125
Table Properties Lost on Multiple Monitors
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:29:56 UTC
I was running Writer on my laptop with a second monitor aligned on the right-hand side. I worked on a document for a couple of hours with the document displayed on the secondary monitor, saved, shutdown, and disconnected. Later I connected to a different monitor, aligned on the left-hand side, and opened my document. The document appeared this time on the main monitor (which is fine), but when I went to open Table Properties for a table in the document it seemed to freeze, and no table properties window appeared. I hit ESC and it was fine. Selected Table Properties again and the same thing happened. Attempting everything, I realigned my secondary monitor to the right-hand side (in Display Properties), hit apply and blam, the table properties appeared... on the main monitor. I realigned the secondary to the left and the properties stayed on the main. Quirky behavior, and the app didn't crash, but this could possibly confuse someone to tears. One other factor that may be in play is I am using Virtual Dimension (http://virt-dimension.sourceforge.net/). I did not test this with that software turned off. Thank you. The suite is awesome.
MRU->JW: could you please investigate this?
confirmed on scr680_m139 with my system Matrox G450 and dualhead enabled reassigend to ssa set target OOo later
ssa->hdu: the window positioning code normally checks if the coordinates are completely out of the monitor region and should avoid placement there. may be you should have a loki at SetWindowState() (which is used to position dialogs) and GetDesktopRectPixel() (which returns the monitor size)
.
