[BUG] "Repo-browser"-window does not open properly when docked on a secondary monitor

[patric...@web.de]

Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Use TortoiseSVN 1.15.5.29465 on a system with Windows 11 (not sure if Windows 11 is a requirement, might also happen on other Windows operating-systems but Windows 11 was the one I encountered the issue on) and two monitors.
2. Open the "Repo-browser"-window.
3. Move the "Repo-browser"-window to the second screen, maximize it, then close it. TortoiseSVN now remembers, that the default-position of the "Repo-browser"-window should be maximized on the second screen.
4. Try to open the "Repo-browser"-window again and observe that it does not open properly (only the top-bar of the window is visible and can not be focused, see image).

When opening the "Repo-browser"-window directly, it is possible to work around this issue by pressing "Win + D" to minimize every window and then clicking on the TortoiseSVN-tab in the task-bar to re-maximize it (it then appears fully functional in its desired position on the second screen) but this does not work if you open the Repo-browser from a secondary window (like the "Merge"-window where it is being used when clicking on the three dots to select the "URL to merge from").

Hi,

Tried it but it doesn't behave the same way for me.

Can you try to clear Dialog sizes and positions in the settings dialog under Saved data?

Kind regards,

Daniel

I have 1.14.5 and could not reproduce the above, but encountered this maybe related issue:

system:

Windows 10 Pro 21H2 64 bit

TortoiseSVN 1.14.5, Build 29465 - 64 Bit , 2022/09/24 08:31:31

two monitors:

 - main monitor 2560x1440 100% scaling

 - secondary monitor 1920x1080 100% scaling (to the left of the main monitor)

steps:

1) open Explorer , browse to a WC

2) right click a folder in the WC, select TortoiseSVN/Repo-browser

3) the repo browser window appears on the main monitor (I guess on the last saved position)

4) move the repo browser with mouse to the second (on the left) monitor, to the top, so it maximizes

5) close the repo browser window

6) repeat step 2

What happens:

the repo browser window appears on the left monitor for a split second, but them moves to the right (main) monitor

the window size seems to be 1920x1080 (as in: maximized on the left monitor)

if I click the window bar and try to move it, the size snaps to some smaller size and can be moved normally

Additional observation:

If I close the repo browser on the main monitor and reopen it, the size is remembered, but not the position. It seems it appears where the mouse pointer is. On both monitors.

In other words: if the windows is not maximized, then the size is remembered, but the position is not, it appears where the mouse is.

Regards,

David
