[issue3286] IDLE opens window too low on Windows
Kurt B. Kaiser k...@shore.net added the comment: IDLE doesn't control window placement - that's left to Tk to handle. Hopefully it will get better with time. Once you take control, you have to handle all the window placement, which is one of the things that window managers are expert at, supposedly. You could try taking your issue to the Tcl/Tk devs. I'm running 8.5 here on a netbook with XP and a 1024x800 screen. I simply reduced the initial height to 33 using the Configure dialog. Zooming the window height is also helpful. Use the hotkey. Some attempt to control position by platform has been made in ZoomHeight.py, where you'll find some magic numbers. On Linux, some people have panels at the top, some at the bottom, some hide them, and some don't have any. Maybe we'll look at this config again once we get the extension parameters on the Config dialog. We could move some of those magic numbers to the config file. -- assignee: - kbk nosy: +kbk resolution: - wont fix status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue3286 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: When I shrank the initial height, tk starting randomizing the initial placement so that it only occasionally puts the window too low. I will tolerate that. It is a bug for a window manager to ignore the Taskbar; this is rare to unique in my experience. In fact, most Windows apps reopen at the size and position closed. But I am no longer bothered enough to find, register with, and post to another tracker. Thanks for explaining. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue3286 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue3286] IDLE opens window too low on Windows
New submission from Terry J. Reedy [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On my Windows XP system, IDLE opens windows too low, even the first, so that the bottom is behind the task bar. When I move the window up, close, and reopen, it occasionally remembers the position but usually forgets. Always remembering would be nicer. It also seems to me that the default should at least be centered, but preferably even higher since new windows are cascaded down. Or Configure/General could have an initial position for first window entry just below or above the initial size. -- components: IDLE messages: 69265 nosy: tjreedy severity: normal status: open title: IDLE opens window too low on Windows type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 3.0 ___ Python tracker [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bugs.python.org/issue3286 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
