Bug - Full Size on Multiple Monitors

I just bought a new monitor today to hook up to my laptop to take advantage of the ability to float a secondary window. The default display on my notebook is 1440x900. The max display on my secondary monitor is 1366x768. Just to note, I have the secondary stacked on top of my main display (i.e. move the mouse straight up to get to the 2nd screen, instead of to the right/left). That's all fine & working in Logos 4 with the 2nd window is fine; but, I have noticed a display/rendering bug where I lose my minimize/maximize/restore buttons (the bar @ top just goes black), although I can still go to their positions & they work.

I've attached a screenshot so that you can take a look.

Oh yeah, I'm using Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

... I have noticed a display/rendering bug where I lose my minimize/maximize/restore buttons...

Yep: I experience the same bug. Min/Max-restore/Close buttons are not displayed at the right of the Logos4 title bar, though they are still operational if I click there.

When the window is restored (non-maximized), the buttons re-appear, although initially the entire title bar disappears off the top of the screen, and I have to use Alt+Space followed by M (for move) and down arrow to get it back on the screen.

Same setup: Logos 4 SR-5 on Win7 64-bit. Dell Vostro 1710.
Graphics = nVidia 8600M GS card, 186.81 driver.
Logos on the main monitor (laptop display = 1400x900), plus a second monitor in dual-view (1050x1680, i.e. rotated to portrait.)

I've got a dumb question - how do I get L4 to utilize my 2 monitors?

Right click on a tab and select "float this tab" this will create a new window. Then move the tab to the 2nd monitor.

No question is dumb except an un-answered one.

Philip,

Don't you mean "No question is dumb except an un-asked one"?

I'd hate to think all the unanswered questions on the forum are dumb. (We concede a couple of them are. [:S] But not ALL.)

Maybe I'm a victim of thinking about it too much. My train of thought was that the question itself remains dumb until it has an answer, not the person with the question.

Thanks. Shacking is my new favorite theological term.

I too am experiencing this issue. I'm running Logos 4 SR-6 on Windows 7 x64. When maximized, the title bar becomes solid black and the maximize, minimize, and restore buttons of the main program window are hidden from view, although functional. If I float a panel and maximize it, the title bar appears as it should.

I've been crowing about this problem since early in the beta process and almost not interest.

Glad it's now gettting attention.

Just curious. I am using multimonitor displays too. Anyone else see this that is not using more than one monitor?

I reported the same problems with you, when you were crowing about it before. I noted then that usually I can get it to go away by minimizing and then maximizing the window (but not always). For example, I tried to get the top bar to look right all day. I just closed L4, reopened it, noticed the black bar, minimized/maximized and now I'm good to go. (bizarre)

Also Win7 64bit and 2 mis-matched monitors. Running L4 on monitor 2.

Sorry Richard. Didn't remember that.

Mine won't go away no matter what.

After the latest update, it consistantly displays properly on my laptop monitor, but is still always black on my secondary monitor. Progress atleast.

The update had absolutely no effect on the behavior on my desktop. Consistently black in full screen mode no matter which of the two monitors it is on.

Still waiting to hear from Logos about this.
