I know this was already discussed somewhere in the forum, but I was not able to track back the discussion using the search, so I’m creating a new thread
I’m working on a “bigger than average” GH definition and trying to add a Python3 script to the canvas, but when I double click on it, the scripting window that contains the code gets opened out of my screen (working on a 1920x1080 laptop, I have never had additional screens connected in my life, and my resolution has always been set to 100%)
if I add a new Python3 script component, the script windows opens on the right, far out of my screen, and I can’t reach it no matter what I try
the only way out I have found is to create a new empty GH file, place there a single Python3 script, double click on it to confirm the window opens in a visible location (it always does on an empty definition) and copy/paste that component on the original problematic definition: this new Python3script will have its own window opening in a visible place on my screen
BUT
whenever I save the file and reopen it, the script-window will again open out of the screen again
@eirannejad I have recorded a one minute sample of the above
I’m running (8.7.24101.10001, 2024-04-10) but honestly I’ve not been using Python3 Script for several weeks, so I’m not able to say if this was already happening like 3 weeks ago in the previous release candidate…
any trick you might have to get that window back on my screen is more than welcome even workarounds are very welcome
@inno 8.7 RC is officially out. We have a good amount of fixes related to this. The new behaviour should be that script editor always opens very close (usually to the left) of its component
I uninstalled and reinstalled just to stay on the safe side, I think I already had the latest Release Candidate installed this is a screenshot I took just now
on a side note, I assumed it was my file, but I am able to recreate the problem on a blank GH file by just adding Python3 components one after each other and check where their window open … the script window keep shifting to the right until it goes out of screen:

Oooof this is nasty. Thankfully I can replicate this here! I’ll put a fix for this in 8.7 very quick. I noticed this is happening with components that are being places futher right on the canvas. There is a logic issue in getting the ‘bounding box’ of where the component is on the screen.
