There's only one problem with window positions, which are not
handled properly when the screen coordinates (of top/left monitors)
become negative. The IDE main form also may span multiple
(left/right) monitors, what's not always desireable, and the
according configuration option is flawed (using screen instead of
monitor sizes).
One of my monitors has negative x coordinates. I havent had an issue
in a long time (with the IDE / with projects, desktopcenter has an
issue)
My second monitor has negative Y coordinates, is wider than the
primary monitor, and I use docking. Then most windows are moved down
to the primary monitor, where they can hang over the right margin (X
preserved).
Since the EasyDockMaster stores the correct coordinates in his layout
file, I had to modify the IDE dockmaster routines, until I got the
layout work as expected. From that work I know about the problems
built into the IDE layout management.
Without concrete example, this info is useless. no one can do anything
about it.
Either detailed steps to reproduce,
Steps to reproduce:
1. Get an narrow and an wide monitor, e.g. CRT and Flatscreen.
2. Attach both to your computer, the wide one as secondary monitor.
3. Configure the wider monitor to have negative Y coordinates.
4. Make Lazarus use the EasyDockMaster.
5. Show and move the CodeEplorer to the right of the wide monitor.
6. Save and close the IDE.
7. Reopen the IDE, check all IDE window positions.
[Did I miss something?]
Or the exact lines at fault (and preferable why they are, if it isn't
really plain obvious.)
I could not find out all the ways, how the desired postions of IDE
windows are affected by the many involved objects and calls :-(
If I open an easydock ide, and place my source editors in 2 undocked
windows, and put both on on monitor, then the will be in those positions
after I restart.
A single monitor is not a problem, at least when it is the primary monitor.
