Waveboxapp: [Bug] - Wavebox mini - hidpi - popout moves to middle of screen if second monitor is default

[nmat]

• Wavebox Version: 3.14.6
• Operating System & Version: windows 10

Expected & actual behavior
Wavebox mini should popout from tray not in middle of screen.

Goes to middle of screen almost like its open in a external window.

Steps to reproduce
Use 1 or 2 external monitors. Bind the keybinding to show the popout in wavebox mini.

Make one of the monitors primary and not the laptop with hidpi.

Now place wavebox on laptop screen and press shortcut to open wavebox. It will open in the middle of the screen and not from the tray.

Only seems to happen on first push of shortcut keys.

Is the bug persistent or intermittent?
Persistent.

Thanks, I see the same. Not totally centre for me, but almost positioned where it should be if the screen was the smaller laptop screen.

Looks like it's using the current wavebox window to determine which window to take the positioning from

oh..hmmm...however the tray should popout from where you tell the screen to be primary + screen resolution right?

[Thomas101]

Yeah it should appear wherever the tray icon is - regardless of which screen is primary or not. I had thought maybe we weren't fetching the tray bounds when using the keyboard shortcut, but we are.

Looks like it might not be updating the position on screen change or until you actually click on the icon. When I get a chance I'll have a dig through the electron code to see if I can find out what's going on

[Thomas101]

Turns out there's no problem with electron, it was the positioning library we're using. Closed via https://github.com/jenslind/electron-positioner/pull/12

I can't test this on the current hidpi machine...I am using stable there. :/ Maybe it possible that someone at wavebox can verify it using hidpi machine?

[Thomas101]

Yeah worked here with that setup. I don't think it was down to a hidpi screen though.

You can also create the bug with the following (hidpi or no hidpi)...

• 2 screens different sizes
• Make the larger screen the primary one
• Move the mouse onto the smaller screen
• Launch mini with the keyboard shortcut

Verified on windows 10 as ok and now shows the popout on primary monitor.

Tested in beta as broken

Tested on GIT master today as fixed.
