Title: Instruction Box Location
Post by: DLTimmons on October 24, 2014, 01:20:39 PM

I have to me a little bug when I have designer up and running on screen 1 it opens the instruction box in the upper left corner of the screen even if I'm not full screen. Move designer to screen 2 and it put the box in the middle of Screen 1. I would hope there is some way to move it closer to where the curser is on the screen. a 1" square box is hard to find on a 24" screen

Can you post the screen shots?
To do this, hit the PrtScn key on your keyboard when you see it, then launch Paint, paste it into there and save the file.
Then reply to this topic and under the Additional Options... (below the edit box on the Post Reply forum page), there is an Attach" field with a Browse... button to the right of the field.  Browse to the file you just saved in Paint.

You may need to reply once for each file/screen shot due to file size limitations of this forum (PrtScn captures ALL your screens).  Let us know if you have any issues with this.

Did you modify these screen shots?  I was hoping to get the entire desktop (i.e. all monitors) on one picture.

I run dual monitors all the time and have never had that problem.
Have you changed anything recently?

No changes that I know of. I'm bad about having 2 or three programs open at the same time this makes it fun to find your instruction box, I keep thinking why is it locking up only find the instruction box opened in the upper corner or the middle of the other screen.

DLTimmons,

I emailed you back.  Please reply to that.

Also, you might want to see if your graphics card has any updates.  Sometimes issues like this are driver issues (not sure why, we aren't doing anything out of the ordinary, but it doesn't hurt to check).
