Renoise with two windows, the secondary window covers the taskbar when maximized (not full screen) when the taskbar is not on the main display.
Edit: Renoise 3.4.4, forgot to say that
I’m on Windows 10. I have two monitors vertically stacked. Monitor 1 is on the bottom and Monitor 2 is on the top. Monitor 1 is set to main display. The taskbar is set to only be on one monitor and it’s on the right side of the secondary display (top monitor).
- Launch Renoise
a) main window loads on main display (bottom monitor)
b) secondary window loads to the Mix screen on the secondary display (top monitor)
b) both windows are already maximized
c) secondary window covers the taskbar on the secondary display (top monitor)
I tried this with the taskbar on the bottom and the right side of both monitors with both alternatively set to main display and checking the main Renoise window and secondary Renoise window. When the taskbar is on the monitor that is the secondary display, Renoise (both main and secondary windows) covers the taskbar. With only one window open, Renoise still covers the taskbar when they’re both on the secondary display.
Pressing alt+return (or using the menu option) to change to/from full screen does not change anything on the secondary display. However, when the taskbar is on the main display, the main Renoise window will change between normal maximized and full screen. The secondary window will not swap between normal maximized and full screen if it’s on the main display with the taskbar there.
While Renoise is open, if I change which monitor is the main display, and, if the main display has the taskbar (I tried both bottom and top for this), Renoise (both main and secondary windows) will automatically resize to show the taskbar. However, in testing this, the secondary Renoise window will become unresponsive if you change which monitor is the main display while it’s open (which, kinda, who cares? just figured I’d mention it, since it came up while I was testing to see if Renoise did the same thing on both monitors).
Edit: this is not a massive issue and I’ve been having it for like a year and a half. I just figured I’d finally go ahead and put in a bug report. It’s sometimes kinda inconvenient at worst. If it’s an easy fix, awesome! If it’s not, no worries at all!! If it’s not worth looking in to at all, also, no worries. Mostly it’s here in case anyone else also has the same issue, I tried to thoroughly test all the reasonable ways to get this to occur, so they’d be able to see it’s not just them.
Also: was looking for changelogs just to see if this was addressed previously … and saw that on the 3.4.0 changelog “Windows: Fixed possible wrong window size when maximizing Renoise on secondary monitors” … so, not sure if this is a new bug, or, the previous fix doesn’t apply to my situation (maybe vertically stacked monitors do new and fun and even stupider things in Windows?!)
