Issue: When Renoise is set to full screen with a dual monitor setup, Renoise will not allow a detached Mixer/Instrument editor to be dragged over to another monitor.
Recreating Issue:
Open Renoise on monitor one
Select “View” on top menu
Click “Full Screen” option
Renoise goes full screen
Select “View” menu again
Click “Detach Mixer and or Instrument Editor”
“Mixer” and or “Instrument editor” window opens
Drag window to monitor two, window stops at border of monitor one.
Not sure if it’s a Renoise issue or a Linux issue. Any info would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
This is likely a window manager/desktop environment issue.
I’m guessing your environment is probably GNOME, but isn’t it the case that full-screen windows can’t be dragged at all?
At least that was the case with labwc (one of the Wayland stacking window managers).
EDIT:
No, in labwc I can drag maximized GTK or QT windows, but it seems that in Renoise, once a window is maximized, can’t drag it.
It also appears that Renoise could be the cause.
I’m using KDE Plasma as it comes with Ubuntu Studio. If I have the mixer in one monitor and the main pattern editor on the other monitor and I tell renoise to enter full screen it closes the mixer window.
Yeah I just did that now by setting it to have windows be able to go over the task bar. It’s crude but it seems to work as it auto hides when a window is maximized.
