Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 553] Menu and Title bars inaccessible using GTK2 (non-lega
http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=553
------- Comment #19 from christopher.maynard@xxxxxxxxx 2007-11-12 22:56 GMT -------
timeless@xxxxxxxxx convinced me to run some more tests and I was able to
reproduce the problem after all with this test case:
1) Start with monitors in the following position, open Wireshark and move the
windows to the very top of the #2 monitor:
+----------+ +-----------+
| 2 | | 1 |
| | | |
| 1024x768 | | 1400x1050 |
+----------+ | |
+-----------+
2) Close Wireshark, being sure to save its window position before doing so via
preferences.
3) Reconfigure the monitor positions as follows, then open Wireshark again -
title is off screen, above monitor #2:
+-----------+
| 1 |
| |
+----------+ | 1400x1050 |
| 2 | | |
| | +-----------+
| 1024x768 |
+----------+
OK, so it can still be reproduced. But since this is not technically a
Wireshark bug, but rather a GTK bug, should this bug remain open here?
Regardless, don't forget about this work-around, which I've grabbed from
http://www.sosol.com/docs/WinXP-TweaksMaintenanceAndTroubleshootingTips.pdf:
Control a Window with the Keyboard:
Even when the title bar or sizing frame is off-screen and not reachable by the
mouse cursor, you can still move or resize a window. Click on the visible part
of the window and press Alt-Spacebar to bring up its system menu. Then press S
(for Size), press the right arrow key to select the right-hand edge of the
window, and press the left arrow key repeatedly. When the window is reduced to
a manageable size, press Enter.
To move a window whose title bar is not visible, click the window or its
corresponding taskbar button and again press Alt-Spacebar. Even if the window
is entirely off-screen, not visible at all, the system menu will appear as
close to it as possible, so you can use the menu's location as a pointer to the
"lost" window. This time press M (for Move), use the arrow keys to bring the
window back into view, and press Enter when you have it back under control.
