Wesnoth startup screen position

Post by michaelbr »

I'm not sure if this is a feature or it's my setting, everytime I start Wesnoth, it starts a little bit below my screen, and I have to drag it to the right position, it doesn't "remember" the last location, do I have to change some settings or I have to file a bug/feature report. I'm using Windows 10 and Wesnoth 1.12.6.
Thanks for your comment/suggestion.

I think, that is the Windows doing that. If there are more windows opened, it puts the new one somewhere, where it can find a free place. So this cannot be solved by Wesnoth, and there are no options to set for this.
I recommend playing on "fullscreen" anyway (that, yes, is an option). :D

I think it's been fixed in 1.13 so that the location is remembered.

My personal experience:
Win7 and 1.12.6 --> window appears on a random place on screen, sometimes only a small part of it visible (rest out-of-bounds).
Win7 and 1.13.8 --> window appears exactly centered in the middle of the screen (independet of size).

Right, that's true. I assumed it remembered the position, because I keep the window maximized and thus the old annoying behaviour was gone.

Thanks to all of you for the feedback, I'll await for the stable version of 13, in the mean time I'll just run it maximized as suggested by Zap-Zarap.
