Client Display Issue

[LathanStanley]

This is a bit trivial, but at work, I use two monitors side by side.
I loaded the Spring client... (shows on monitor A)
I put the spring client on monitor B by just dragging it over...
I then switched the priority of my monitors so that Monitor B was the "primary monitor" and monitor A was the "extended Desktop" (for driver purposes...
When I re-loaded the Spring client, it tried to display it "off the screen" on an imaginary monitor C....

maybe we cna have it fixed, maybe not...

but just a warning to those that get all confused, switch your monitors back, re-load spring, move it back to the primary, then re-switch them and it'll be ok.

There'r also lots of GUi issues such as no minimum window size, controls overlapping, control crossing over the window edge regardless of window size, dual channel message entry boxes untill dividers are moved, focus stealing, no taskbar entry for minimaps not found in cache dialog at start, some users showing as ?? country flag...

That's probably a quirk with the delphi gui api's.

AFAIK, this is not a client issue, but a windows issue, as I've had this problem with many apps back when I still used windows. Linux dual-display handling is surprisingly better; e.g. You get the benefits of dual-view (maximizing to a single screen etc..) together with clone view (you can use full screen apps across both displays: you can't use spring dual-display mode in dual-view).

That's not a gui issue O_o
