Re: [be] Moving windows

In Windows, you can alt-spacebar and select Move, and then arrow key down the window.

I think this is more of a window manager issue than anything. The only BE bug there may be here is saving the obscured window position and then restoring it on application restart.

Please, please, I really hope someone will write the patch suggested by Teus. It would be best if BE's windows acted like the windows in all other programs, in the ways in which they can be moved, resized, and alternatively given focus when there is overlap. I fear that this one fault has given many people who try the program the unfortunate impression that BE is a quirky, immature program.

Hi all,

When I had the same problem some months ago (in an installation using Bibledit for Linux in Xubuntu--part of SIL's Low Power Computing initiative called BALSA), somebody suggested using the ALT key. But in that version/system, this does not grab the active window and move it--it rather grabs the whole main Bibledit window, which doesn't do any good. I tried just now (on the same system) the Alt F3 plus M (in various configurations) but none of this worked either.

A fellow user suggested the solution of editing the configuration file (which I sent separately), but Teus's solution of Control-M to close the window, and then reopen it; this works nicely (in my version at least) and is simpler than editing the configuration file and has the great advantage can be implemented by a local typist.

Are you running in windows?  If so you can just right click the window's button on the taskbar, choose move and then use the arrow keys and/or the mouse to bring it back on screen.  Press enter to set the position.  

If you are in ubuntu (and perhaps other flavors) and if you can see any part of the window then hold the ALT key and click inside the window that you can see. Then you can drag the window anywhere.  If you can't see the window at all then click then make sure that is the active window in the taskbar, press Alt+F3 then M, then use the arrow keys to move it.

Greetings,

Today one of our translators moved one of his windows up beyond the menu bar and we weren't able to find a way to be able to grab it and move it back down again. It sounds like a really silly problem now that I write this but not having control over the window was really bothersome.

Thanks for any help,

Tim
