Roman, for me it happens when i try to open (again) a pd-subpatch that i previously placed on the second monitor (on the left of the main monitor) : instead of appearing in its previous position, the window appears outside the screen (on the right of the right screen), so you can't see it, drag it back... Yes Nicolas, I experienced this with the "additional" monitor on the left, so subpatches should probably have negative coordinates.
Hope this gives a clue to solve this, patching on two monitors is nice for big patches... all best raphaël 2017-09-14 9:05 GMT+02:00 Nicolas Montgermont <[email protected]>: > IIRC, the problem is happening more when you have your second monitor on > the left / main monitor on the right? > It must have something to do with a negative x position. > What i usually experienced is a problem when working on the same patch > with someone with two monitors, main monitor on the left and for me main > monitor on right. > The patch appears on the far right of the right screen - impossible to see > or edit. > The workaround is to unplug the second screen, the patch appears, and save > it to this new position. > n > > http://nimon.org > > Le 14/09/2017 à 08:45, Roman Haefeli a écrit : > > Hi Ali > > On Mit, 2017-09-13 at 11:03 -0400, Ali Momeni wrote: > > I'm using MacOS 10.12.6 > > I'm impressed that so many pd versions and platforms have this issue. > It's a very difficult problem to deal with; Pd is essentially > unusable with multiple screens. > > I'm a regular multi-screen user and didn't encounter problems. > > > Does anyone have an intuition of how Pd manages to break the OS's > window management? > > Can you elaborate some more?
