[#1470] Move component config dialog to center if outside parent's monitor #1475
Conversation

This definitely fixes the problem of config dialogs getting "lost"... but will it break people's use case where they want the config dialog on the other monitor? For those users having the dialog keep moving back each time would be very annoying indeed. I don't know how many people this would effect. Here's an alternative: what if this behavior were applied only once when the app is first started up? That is, after starting the app, the first config window would open on the same monitor as the app, but after that the app will respect wherever the user puts it. This way, it's still very easy to find a lost config dialog (just restart the app), but those who want to keep the config elsewhere will be able to do it without going mad. |

Latest commit only resets the edit dialog's position at startup (when it's outside of the main window's monitor). |

I don't have 2 monitors, so this is of limited use; functions as expected, no anomalies found using a single monitor. Build 793 |

I did get to test it on 2 monitors, but the behavior may be different for macOS and Windows. I may have a chance to test it this week on Windows. |

Okay, two monitor setup complete. Functions as described; no anomalies found. Build 793 |

This PR fixes #1470 by moving a component config dialog to the center of its parent's screen (the main OR window) when the config dialog is initially located on another monitor as the parent, or if its location is outside of the visible region of the screen.
Steps to reproduce:
So note: it's still perfectly possible to move the edit dialog on another monitor, but it will reset its position if close and reopen the config dialog.
