[Gambas-user] Still problems with IDE windows

Hi Benoit,

Thanks for your help until here,

but before I really try to uninstall , here is one more idea about what 
might have happened:


There is e. g. one program on the server I made with Gambas (for the 
students). There is another program I made with Gambas just for me. Both 
were "compiled" and stored on the server so you can start them by 
clicking on an icon, the first one is public, the other one just for me.

This second program just for me, I fixed to a certain screen and 
position for me (right-click on the window title and "save window 
position").

The students' program runs without problems on THEIR screens, but the 
same program has problems on MY screen.

It is possible that from the moment I stored the window position of my 
own program all Gambas programs I start expect to be fixed to a position 
- and they read it from the last window in Gambas closed the time 
before. I just don't remember when this effect came up: after I stored 
the window position or after I installed RC1.

This seems not to affect the other users on the server!

This afternoon, I played around with it a bit and found that the Gambas 
IDE starts at the screen and in exactly the same position I stopped my 
own program (the one with the window position stored). When I force the 
Gambas windows back to another screen and start them, they open at 
positions of other Gambas programs. When I close Gambas and start my 
little program again, it will open at the position and size of the last 
Gambas window but on the correct screen.

Maybe this is of some help.

By the way, should be continue this by pm or copy it to the mailing list?
