Trouble with desktop app.
It is not a very serious bug but something to add to the "I'll check
into this when I get time" list, and several other MS Windows
applications suffer from the same kind of problem.
Verified on Windows XP and Version 1.2.0.4 of Plucker Desktop (Feb 12,
2003).
I often minimize windows I do not work with, and every now and then I
go through my task bar and closes applications that are hogging memory
when I need it for something else. So sometimes I issue a close on a
minimized window by rightclicking on its button in the task bar and
selecting close from the context menu.
Plucker desktop for MS Windows reacts badly to this.
This is what I do to reproduce it on the MS Windows version of Plucker
Desktop:
1. Start plucker.
2. Minimize the "Plucker Desktop" window.
3. Right-click on Plucker Desktop in the taskbar and select "Close"
from the context menu.
4. Start Plucker again. It starts, but it's window is no longer on
the MS Windows desktop.
How to get the window back:
1. Select "Plucker Desktop" from the taskbar.
2, Press ALT+SPC to bring up the window menu (right clicking on the
Plucker button rarely works here for some reason, popup perhaps
also ends up outside MS Windows desktop?)
3. Select "Move" from the menu.
4. Press one of the arrow keys (for cursor movement)
5. Center your mouse pointer on screen, plucker desktop should
follow it.
Reinstalling plucker desktop don't solve this, it seems it keeps its
settings somewhere for the window size, or maybe XP does that for me?
Suggestion: Add a simple check when opening plucker windows that the
window coordinates are sane, else center window on desktop with
default size.
