Panel view doesn't adjust automatically to resolution change

Post by *icepack »

I work on laptop which is connected to external monitor. Whenever I connect the monitor, TC doesn't seem to refresh the panels automatically. However, when switching the focus to TC application (e.g., clicking with mouse) the panel is redrawn correctly. The screenshot can be found at http://www.freeimagehosting.net/1fx3j

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the problem - my PC is connected to my TV (via HDMI through a hole in the wall) and there is no problem with TC when I turn it on.

What settings do you use? Expanded desktop? Mirroring? Does the screen resolution change when you connect the external monitor?

Not sure what is the mode. I work with docking station, in control panel the only monitor shown is the external one whenever I place the laptop into the docking. And yes, screen resolution changes when moving from/to docking station (internal/external monitor).

Does this problem still occur with beta 17a? Please test it!

Great, thanks for your feedback!

Are you able to reproduce the following similar problem?

If yes, can you tell me what settings you are using? Unfortunately the user who reported it doesn't reply, and no one else has confirmed the problem so far. I cannot reproduce the problem myself.

Hmm, looks like the thread starter is not responding anymore. Anyway, he confirmed a fix, so this thread should be moved to a different subforum.
