Control placement of SmartConsole window

[amk_]

Hi,

I am confronted in a problem with SmartConsole user interface, specifically placement of the application window.

For some reason it saves the position somewhere, and when opening next time it fails to check whether the saved position is visible on the current screen.

I have a big screen at one place and a smaller one elsewhere. When stopping the app on the right part of the big screen, next time on the other one the window opens (visible in Taskbar) but there is no way to move it to the visible desktop.

Usual Windows apps respond to Alt-Space with a menu that is always visible and allows to resize or move window. In the case of SmartConsole this menu is limited to "Align session toolbar', restore, minimize, maximize, close. Maximize allows to reveal the window, but there is no way to resize it, since restore moves it back off screen.

I consider this a bug in the UI part, anyone knows where the window location is saved so I could reset it prior starting? user.config under AppData...SmartConsole does not appear to contain it.

Any hints? Our current build SmartConsole 81.20.9700.653

I think the System Option Remember Window Position could be the reason - can you try to disable it ?

Hi,

I cannot find that option at all, can you advise where to look for? Google points me only to Windows 11 settings and I am at Windows 10 and SmartConsole is the only application giving this issue.

Looking further in the many user.config files underneath SmartConsole/UserSettings I found something in user.config placed into directory username/serverIP. There following entries are found:

<item key="/mainWindow.WindowState">Normal</item>
<item key="/mainWindow.Width">1920</item>
<item key="/mainWindow.Height">926</item>
<item key="/mainWindow.Left">1913</item>
<item key="/mainWindow.Top">152</item>

So this seems to be the correct place to update once I end up in the situation next time.

Still, the app should provide user with a possibility not to save the window position. And most importantly, adjust the coordinates to current screen during startup.
