Wox box jumps between screens on multi-screen setup - 1.3.183

Created on 18 Oct 2017  ·  10Comments  ·  Source: Wox-launcher/Wox

I have a two monitor setup. Every time I use the Wox hotkey, I never know which screen it will pop up on. There doesn't seem to be an obvious pattern. Also, sometimes when I'm entering a query into wox, the box will suddenly jump from one screen to the other. It's very curious.

help wanted

Does it not always open in the monitor the cursor is in? That seems to always be the case for me...

You're right about the box jumping screens, I can confirm it will jump to the other monitor if I move the cursor to it and then start typing.

John - you're absolutely right. Wox follows the cursor. Thanks for connecting the dots on that for me.

I'll look into the jumping issue if I get some time...

Cheers

The box doesn't really jump around for me.

To reproduce the box-jumping-around issue:

  1. Press hotkey to launch Wox
  2. Move cursor to the other monitor
  3. Start typing a query

I cant reproduce this issue, though I also have a newer version of wox. Version 1.3.424 so the issue seems to have already been fixed.

That's possible, I'm on 1.3.183 as well.

@vildechaya Have you tried the pre-release?

I don't have the necessary environment (multi screen) to reproduce this issue, but I suggest you try the latest pre-release as well. And of course, PR is welcome.

I cannot check right now, but I will test the latest pre-release later today if @vildechaya hasn't responded...

I can confirm this issue is no longer present in v1.3.424. You can close this issue...
