When I reconnect to my remote session, Total Commander windows on non-primary monitors tend to jump and change size.
To be more specific, here's an experiment:
- I have 3 monitors connected to my local system. The monitor2 is in the center, this is the Windows "main monitor", and there's the Windows Taskbar on it.
- I connect to a remote system with the standard Windows RDP.
- Just in case, I open 1 TC instance, position it in the lower-half of the monitor1 (using the AHK script below)(this could be reproduced manually, but the pixel-perfect positioning is painful). I click "Configuration->Save Position" close TC and then reopen to make sure it remembers the position. Then I close this TC.
- I open 6 TC instances, position them like this:
- upper-half of the monitor1
- lower-half of the monitor1
- upper-half of the monitor2
- lower-half of the monitor2
- upper-half of the monitor3
- lower-half of the monitor3
- I close my RDP session window
- Almost immediately, I reconnect to the same RDP session (nothing changed in the local monitor config)
- As a result:
- remains almost in place, but shrinks a bit - now there are small gaps in between the window and the monitor edges
- jumps to the upper half of the monitor1, exactly the same position as the previous window
- everything looks OK - the window is exactly where it was
- everything looks OK - the window is exactly where it was
- remains almost in place, but shrinks a bit - now there are small gaps in between the window and the monitor edges
- jumps to the upper half of the monitor3, exactly the same position as the previous window
- I tried few other scenarios.. But the behavior seem to be erratic and not always reproducible. I'm not really sure why. Maybe I'm missing something.
- I try to reproduce the same with "notepad.exe" windows, but they keep their positions perfectly.
My monitor config is as follows:
