Epyrus menu does not work in a maximized window. Topic is solved

[Piotr Kostrzewski]

Hello,
As in the title, the Epyrus Menu does not work in a maximized window.
I don't know if it's an error on my side because I haven't seen anyone report such an error.
Thank you very much for your time.
Have a nice day.
Regards,
Piotr

Well, I can't reproduce this on Windows. Did you encounter this bug on Linux, or...?

[Piotr Kostrzewski]

Could this be influenced by the resolution? I'm using 1366x768. Thank you for the fast reponse.
On Windows.

In version 2.1.1 the problem still exists.
I have prepared a recording, I hope you will see what I mean despite the watermark.
Have a nice weekend.
Regards,
Piotr

Are you trying to say that the AppMenu doesn't work when the window is maximized?

That's what I meant when I said I couldn't reproduce it... look at my screen. For me it has always worked...

[Piotr Kostrzewski]

That's what I mean.
I know, but I thought that maybe if I show you, something might come to your mind.
It helps me.
Do you suspect what might be the cause or how to get around it?
Changing resolution?

Do you have a 1920x1080 monitor? I don't have a smaller one to test with, but if your problem goes away on that one, then you might be right.

EDIT: Changing the resolution of my monitor to 1366x768 doesn't cause the problem, either.

Also, I notice you're using Windows 7. I haven't actually tested the e-mail client much on Windows 7, so that could also be the issue. My development system runs Windows 10 Pro.

Possibly, if so, I can wait until I switch to Windows 11.
I would prefer to work on the maximized version, but if it is not possible, I will manage.
Thank you very much.

Right, but I would still like to fix the bug, because a lot of my users are still on Windows 7...

I'm going to try a Windows 7 VM and see if I can reproduce there.

Do you think they also have this problem?
I haven't seen anyone come forward with it except me.
Very nice of you.
I wonder if you can reproduce this situation.

[Piotr Kostrzewski]

Hello, did you manage to reproduce this problem?

Well, I tried on Windows 8, and it seems like it works fine there. Unfortunately, I'm having some issues getting Windows 7 up and running in my VM software... my Windows 8 VM works fine, but Windows 7 is giving me a hard time. I will get to it soon, I just wound up taking a Partial Exam (partial last night covering chapters 4-6, final this morning covering the whole class) and a Final Exam back-to-back, and now I am also working on a presentation for the last day of class tomorrow. The teacher got really far behind, we did a quarter of the semester's work in the final week.

I appreciate your involvement.
I wonder what's the problem with Windows 7.
The Pale Moon menu works without any problems.
What field are you studying?
Good luck.

Confirmed. This happens only on Windows 7 because of a left-over rule from the old Australis theme that is no longer necessary with the new theme. Sorry for not being able to spot this earlier since I did test with Win7 but wasn't thorough enough... Will send a PR that should fix this issue.

[FranklinDM]

Should be fixed soon, see PR #76.

Thanks for helping out. I had a feeling it was Windows 7 specific, because that was the only thing that stood out to me as a potential trigger, since I know Windows 7 has Aero, handles theming in a different way, etc.

Good to know my assumption was correct. Really too bad I have such a hard time testing Windows 7 in a VM these days, I really never should have transitioned that last computer over to 10... I barely use it anyway, and there's no sensitive information on it.

[Piotr Kostrzewski]

Thank you Franklin and Athenian for fixing this.
Have a nice day.

[Piotr Kostrzewski]

Today I updated to version 2.1.2 and I confirm that the error does not occur. Thank you Athenian and Franklin.
