#129 Resize Control Panel causes Control Panel Window to relocate almost completely off the right-hand edge of the screen

[Anonymous]

When the Control Panel is displayed, and the Display view is active, attempting to resize the Control Panel Window by dragging the bottom edge of the Control Panel Window downwards causes the Control Panel Window to reposition itself to a location where it is almost completely off the edge of the screen near the upper-right-hand edge of the screen, making it nearly impossible to interact with the Control Panel Window.

Thanks for the report. I have not yet managed to reproduce it. I will try on another version of macOS though.

However, if you could share more details that could be helpful. What version of macOS and what version of GrandPerspective do you have? A before and after screenshot could also be useful.

I'll see what I can do with screenshots.

I don't think I'm able to clearly show what's happening with screenshots. However, these would be the steps to reproduce it:

Open GrandPerspectiv
Scan a folder OR load a saved scan
show the Control Panel
select Display
Try to drag the bottom of the Display window down.
The Control Panel window will relocate itself upwards and rightwards on the screen until it is almost completely off of the screen, or even completely off of the screen if you're using two displays.
Depending on how your desktop is configured, it can be almost or completely impossible to drag the Control Panel window back to where it's useable.

This seems to happen with one or more displays.

The only way I could reliably get a useable Control Panel window back was to quit and re-start the application.

The behavior doesn't seem to occur when Info is selected or when Focus is selected.

Does that help more?
