ADE window opens on opposite display

itos
itos over 11 years ago

Hi,

I use Cygwin's X Server to access Cadence ADE L running on a linux machine.

On my client there are 2 displays: 1 secondary (auxiliary) one to the left and a primary, main monitor on the right.

Whenever ADE opens a new window, the new window appears always on the secondary monitor, in particular the top left of it.
Probably because it's coordinate (0,0). This is very annoying and hampers efficient working: Each and every action has to be followed by dragging the new window to the main monitor again.

Does anyone experience similar problems?

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks!

    You should check they are not being overridden (maybe from your .cdsinit somewhere). I tried and this worked - but you can check by doing:

    envGetVal("asimenv.window" "x")

    (and the same for y) to see what the values are in the CIW. You could also try setting:

    envSetVal("asimenv.window" "x" 'int 1024)

    in the CIW to see if that helps.

    Andrew.
