#7884: Deskbar gets weirdly resized and moved around -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: pulkomandy | Owner: czeidler Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: Add-Ons/Decorators/Stack And Tile | Version: Resolution: | R1/Development Blocked By: | Keywords: Has a Patch: 0 | Blocking: | Platform: All -------------------------------------------------+------------------------- Comment (by taos): Replying to [comment:4 czeidler]: > But I only saw the Deskbar moving a bit down when changing the decorator, maybe something different... I've seen this too for some time when switching decorators, but now (I suppose it started last week, using gcc2hybrid r42539 at the moment) the deskbar can also be resized to a tiny square (see deskbar_box.png), or wander off the screen almost completely (except for a thin bar, see deskbar_bar_menu.png). At the moment, it's also impossible (at least for me) to set a decorator (not that you would need to do so as - after the decorator restructuring work - S&T now also works with default decorator) - so that's no longer a trigger: {{{ ~> setdecor -c Name License Description ---------------------------------------------------- *Default MIT Default Haiku window decorator. ~> setdecor -l Name License Description ---------------------------------------------------- *Default MIT Default Haiku window decorator. ClassicBe MIT Basic appearance of the classic BeOS. MacDecorator MIT MacOS 9 SATDecorator MIT Default look with ability to stack & tile windows. WinDecorator MIT Windows 95 ~> setdecor SATDecorator Setting SATDecorator as the current decorator... ~> setdecor -c Name License Description ---------------------------------------------------- *Default MIT Default Haiku window decorator. ~> setdecor Default "Default" is already the current decorator }}} Removing Deskbar settings file didn't help either. After killing and restarting, deskbar is back where it should be, but then starts wandering off screen again. I can force deskbar back on screen e.g. by opening files or applications via terminal. It seems if the option "Auto-raise" is not enabled in deskbar preferences, deskbar only moves but usually isn't resized to a 4x4 box. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/7884#comment:7> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
