[ccp4bb] Fwd: Re: [ccp4bb] off-screen display window - problem solved
Dear all, a big thanks, especially for the suggestions from Stuart, Phil and Huw. I could solve the problem, but working it the other way around: the option "Displays have separate spaces" on my computer was off. I turned it on, logged out, no result, turned it off, logged out again, and now the windows appear on my screen. Well, the logic behind is not very clear, but at least I know what to do next time it happens, I wish you all a nice day, Gerlind Forwarded Message Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] off-screen display window Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2019 11:29:24 + From: Stuart McNicholas To: Gerlind Sulzenbacher Dear Gerlind, With thanks to Phil Evans and Huw Jenkins there are a couple of suggestions that I've seen passed around: Phil found this on Stack Exchange: "I met this problem before and it's very annoying. Finally, I realized that because the size and resolution of additional monitor are different from my Mac's. Those resulted in a 'non-existing' space between monitors. Sometimes windows would locate in that space and could not be moved. Luckily, I found we can remove the 'non-existing' space by changing settings on Mac. " System Preferences->Mission Control and uncheckDisplays have separate spaces." Then re-login MAC, the problem should be gone." Huw had success with: "I tried that first (as I knew about that one) but it didn't fix it as X11 Full-screen mode was also on. Turning off 'Displays have separate spaces' and Full-screen mode seemed to result in normal behaviour..." Others may know a more definitive solution.

Neither can we - the problem is somewhere between XQuartz and Apple hardware drivers. The problem came back when I connected my Macbook to a videoprojector, and since then I do not find a solution. Re-installation of ccp4 and coot did not help. Has anybody encountered the same problem and found a way around? Maybe this will help: When you save your state with coot you get a file 0-coot.state.scm - use it to extract position and size information: $ grep graphics-window 0-coot.state.scm > fix-my-winndow-on-startup.scm And execute that as you invoke coot: $ coot --script fix-my-winndow-on-startup.scm Paul.

[ccp4bb] off-screen display window
Dear members of the community, when I launch ccp4i or Coot on my macbook OSMojave, the graphical window goes off-screen. I had the problem before and it went away by connecting to a new display screen - of course I was pleased about it, but yet I could not understand the logic behind this behaviour. The problem came back when I connected my Macbook to a videoprojector, and since then I do not find a solution. Re-installation of ccp4 and coot did not help.
