Heidisql: Text editor doesn't fit to screen

Created on 12 Jan 2018  路  5Comments  路  Source: HeidiSQL/HeidiSQL

Hi !

Expected behavior

When I open the text editor it should fit to the screen.

Current behavior

When I open the text editor, it doesn't fit to the screen.
See this screen :

What's more buttons are hidden behind the Windows bar.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Click on a text field in a table
  2. Click again to edit this
  3. Click on 3 dots to open text editor.

Context

I have 3 screens, and it probably comes from this, but as an intensive user of HeidiSQL, I use this text editor really often.

  • HeidiSQL version: 9.5.0.5220
  • Database system + version: MySQL 5.5.58
  • Operating system: Windows 10

If you can fix this it would be awesome, otherwise, nevermind it's still the best database manager 馃槃
Keep doing this amazing work !

(If you can add CTRL + S to save in text editor it would be so marvellous 馃憤 )

The next build should restore the previous window size much better

  • maximized state
  • dimensions are stored only when not maximized - so if you set the window from "maximized" to "normal" it should have the same dimensions as it had when it was not maximized before. This was buggy yet - the maximized dimensions were restored.

I guess the editor was maximized the previous time, and should restore its maximized state the next time, which is currently not done.

Saving changed text can be done with Ctrl+Enter

Ah nice, didn't know about this shortcut.
Thanks for your quick answer 馃槃

Confirmed: the maximized status is not recovered after reopen the Text Editor.

What I thought is missing is restoring the _position_ of the window. I left that for now as it is (always centered on screen), as this may have implicit problems with multiple monitors.
