TC7 doesn't remember main window size and position

[sebabar]

TC7 always starts with main window in the same position and size, regardless of its parameters on last close/save position command. Size is quite weird - something about 200x150.

[Screenshot would have appeared here if I had been allowed to post it.. ]


Bug seems to exists in all TC7 versions.

Windows XP Pro SP2 English, two monitor configuration (Hydravision), nonstandard XP Visual Style

Best regards,

Thanks for your welcome message

Well.. I must admin I haven't looked for hydravision here before. Now I see there are few threads about it. Unfortunatelly I don't speak German

Only one thread in English suggests that the newest Hydravision drivers solve the problem. I have Hydravision-3-25-0006 (the newest available), and still experience this problem.
I also think it has something to do with multimonitor drivers (that's why I mentioned about my 2-monitor configuration), but other programs don't behave in such strange way.

I will experiment with different settings of hydravision though. Thanks for suggestion

2sebabar: I had a similar problem with a very old graphic card.

I used following workaround:
- Size your TC according to your needs
- Maximize TC
- Configuration -> Save Position

Now your TC will always start maximized ...but clicking once on the Restore button to release the maximized size ... and you got your favorite size.

Might be a problem with the 1 - 2 - 3 Nagscreen in hydravision.
The registered version will not show it with this setting in wincmd.ini:

[Configuration]
StartupScreen=0

I use registered version. I removed key for testing purposes. Both registered and unregistered versions behave the same (also with ini entry you mentioned).

But I have found out that disabling "Application Position Memory" in Hydravision prefs makes TC appear ok! I have no idea so if this is Hydravision bug or TC is somehow incompatible with this setting. I've also found that lister suffers for the simillar problem - it "likes" to open on the second monitor, even TC is on the first one. I tried "save position" in lister and disabling above option in Hydravision, but it still sometimes opens not the way it should

Maybe it has something to do with my desktop layout? I have windows taskbar on the secondary monitor.

Indeed that's the bug in Hydravision: It stores the coordinates of the splash screen, but sets them to the main window when TC is started. I really don't understand why these people can't get it right, the two windows clearly have different classes and titles...

Not a TC bug - should be moved into "Behaviour which will not be changed"?
