Undocked menus
« on: 2011 January 07 21:08:28 »
Help - some of my menus are now "undocked" - when I click on the menubar for the Edit menu for example, it is opening in the middle of my workspace.

How do I get things back to normal?   ???


Thanks,
Rob

For example, when I click on the Edit menu it opens in the centre of my workspace thus.
I am using multiple monitors with Windows XP and Matrox Triplehead2go.
Any thoughts appreciated.

(this is just a portion of the full screen display, but shows the displacement of the Edit menu)

Fixed.
There is a setting in the Matrox Desktop Management software for "Center dialog boxes and message boxes" so they don't open all over the place on the large desktop space.  If this is set to "in mouse pointer display" problem above occurs, but interestingly only for certain menus (Edit, Mask, Workplace, Window and Resources).  Selection now changed to "In parent program window" and things are back to normal.

Hi Rob,

Glad to know it's fixed. I was starting to be a bit concerned... :)
