"Do you want to use your license here" dialog gets stuck off-screen

Rhino PaperCuts

This has now happened to me a couple times with the Rhino 6 Beta - the dialog that lets me know that my license is in use on another machine, would i like to use it here gets stuck off screen - and if I click on the rhino window I can’t get it to come forward. This makes the rhino window itself completely unresponsive.

it may have to do with the fact that I typically work with multiple displays - the issue tends to occur when I’m working on my laptop screen only.

it’s not the end of the world - but it’s certainly annoying!

Not a true solution, but what I do when this happens is:

Select the application by clicking on it in the taskbar.
Alt+Space, then ‘M’ (this will activate the ‘Move’ mode)
Then, using the arrow keys, you can bring the window onto the visible workspace.

HTH :slightly_smiling_face:

Wow, Menno! - Windows Jedi Master. That is very cool, I had no idea…

Still, @aj1, @brian - some thing to check, maybe?. I have not run into this.

Ha! Not a true keyboard’er! I bet you even have icons in your Rhino interface… :scream:

:blush: Thanks

For what it’s worth, I have even written code to move a (WPF) window into view (in C#). Maybe that is useful for someone.

private void MoveIntoView([NotNull] Window w)
{
    if (w == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("w");

    if (w.Height > SystemParameters.VirtualScreenHeight)
    {
        w.Height = SystemParameters.VirtualScreenHeight;
    }

    if (w.Width > SystemParameters.VirtualScreenWidth)
    {
        w.Width = SystemParameters.VirtualScreenWidth;
    }

    if (w.Top < SystemParameters.VirtualScreenTop)
    {
        w.Top = SystemParameters.VirtualScreenTop;
    }
    else if (w.Top + w.Height >
        SystemParameters.VirtualScreenTop + SystemParameters.VirtualScreenHeight)
    {
        w.Top = SystemParameters.VirtualScreenTop +
                        SystemParameters.VirtualScreenHeight - w.Height;
    }

    if (w.Left < SystemParameters.VirtualScreenLeft)
    {
        w.Left = SystemParameters.VirtualScreenLeft;
    }
    else if (w.Left + w.Width >
        SystemParameters.VirtualScreenLeft + SystemParameters.VirtualScreenWidth)
    {
        w.Left = SystemParameters.VirtualScreenLeft +
                        SystemParameters.VirtualScreenWidth - w.Width;
    }
}

Does it help my cred that my alias list has 249 items??

IF these are unique entries, I’d say it weighs up against one or two icons… OK.

=) No, it’s completely misleading. Fake news. I actually use far fewer. But I think it’s the longest and most tremendous alias list in history.

Clearly, you should be investigated.

Mitch probably has the same ones in both English, French, German and Switzerdeutsch… So divide by 4.
