Franz: Franz opens off screen edges

Created on 22 Dec 2017  路  5Comments  路  Source: meetfranz/franz

When I open Franz for the first time every day it tries to open it on my second screen even if the second screen is not connected. In addition when the second screen is not to the right but below the first screen it still opens on the right side of my first screen

Expected Behavior

Franz should open on an active screen or the position you last used it. Not reset to a position that is no longer available

Current Behavior

Franz opens off screen the window is not reachable using the mouse.

Possible Solution

It looks like Franz is using a fixed position to open the window, suggestion would be that it would open on the first monitor.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

  1. Start computer
  2. Open Franz

Context

Every time I use Franz (every day) for the first time I have to use key commands to move the window back to a visible position. (ALT + SPACE) then press R and move the window with the arrow keys.

@janacm I think the shortcut is actually alt+space, then M

This annoying me too! at least i got a temporary solution here(Thanks to dVerhees and not the Franz suport).
Still very nerve wrecking issue!

Work around: alt+shift, m

@janacm do you mean the shortcut for disabling notifications and audio ctrl+shift+m?

i'm intrigued as to what workaround that is? :) i'm assuming you're on Windows?
