MyCC version 0.0.8 alpha - BUG

2002-01-29 Thread Downing, Thomas 

I got this address from the MyCC README file.  If it is the wrong one, my
apologies - could you send me the right one.

Description:  Starting MyCC on a W2000 native dual monitor PC results in the
main window spanning both monitors.

Details:  Normally, when an application is started on a native dual monitor
system, the application should appear entirely within the bounds of one of
the monitors, it should not span both.  By 'native dual monitor' I mean a
system where no special or third-party hardware or drivers are used; the
dual monitor support is only provided by the native W2000 multi-monitor
support.

Installation was normal - no complaints.  Installed in
c:\bin\mysql\contrib\mycc.  System was not re-started after installation.  

MyCC was started by double-click on desktop icon.  Behavior observed on
first start.  MyCC exited by 'X' icon on right end of main window caption
with no intervening operation.  

Behavior observed on second start.  MyCC again exited in same fashion.

Behavior observed on third start.  Main window sized horizontally only to
fit entirely on monitor 1.  MyCC exited.

Behavior observed on fourth start.  Window position on exit not saved or not
used on restart.  Main window sized both horizontally and vertically.  Main
window moved both horizontally and vertically.  MyCC exited.

Behavior observed on fifth start.

System:

Windows 2000 Professional SP2.

Display 1:  NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX, AGP, BIOS 3.11.00.18.29.  Driver by NVIDIA,
version 5.12.10.0650.  Resolution 1280x960x32

Display 2: Matrox Mystique PCI, BIOS 1.3-0. Driver by Matrox, (package)
version 5.33.006 Resolution 1280x960x32

Hi!

 I haven't found 0.8.1.  When I do, I will upgrade.

You can either get it from http://www.mysql.com/downloads/gui-mycc.html
We just updated the website today :)

 It is apparent that you are setting an explicit 
 window size and position

The above is true.  What I'll do is speed up the saveMe() method for
the main window-manager which will save both coordinates and sizes for
windows.  Hopefully this will fix things out.  The window-sizes 
position will be the same as the exit ones used in the previous
execution.

Thanks for you bug-report ...I'll fix this for 0.8.2.

Regards,
Jorge

 I don't think that making the window smaller will solve the 
 problem.  It is apparent that you are setting an explicit 
 window size and position, rather than letting Windows pick 
 on.  If you adopt the latter strategy, this problem should 
 not occur on native multi-monitor systems, but may on certain 
 3rd-party solutions; and I wouldn't worry about those.  Who 
 wants to do special case coding for them anyway?
 
 I haven't looked into how to select a starting window size on 
 a multi-monitor system: i.e. how do you get the display caps 
 for each monitor as opposed to the display caps for all 
 monitors together, or even how do you discover how many 
 monitors are active on a system.  I think I might do that 
 tomorrow, as I'm curious myself.
 
 I haven't encountered this problem in other apps except 
 WinMySQLadmin 1.3. This is probably because most apps either 
 let Windows pick their size and position, or else use the 
 exit size and position.

 Hi!
 
 First, I suggest you upgrade to the newest version which is 
 0.8.1. 0.0.8 was the first pre-alpha release and a lot of 
 optimizations  bug-fixes and much better memory management 
 where done to 0.8.1.
 
 The window positions are not saved yet, this will be done by 
 the next release (currently in the TODO file)
 
 Assuming the above doesn't make it to the next release, do 
 you think making the initial window size smaller would fix things ?
 
 A dedicated mailing-list for MyCC has been created, the 
 address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] !
 
 Have you ever had these kinds of problems with any other application ?
 
 Regards,
 Jorge
