Hi!
I continued searching for answers to the window-behind-menubar problem and noticed that it had come up
previously on may 5, 2011 ([Jalview-discuss] Alignment window beyond top of Jalview window). The solution was
posted by Jim Procter:
It is a bug - and seems to be a problem with the way that OSX's java
implementation fails to handle interior menu bars properly.
http://issues.jalview.org/browse/JAL-368 is the most recent iteration of
it.
From the bug report, you can see there is a workaround: A colleague -
Richard Bickerton found that if you use X, followed by G, to expand and
then collect all the views on the alignment (after first creating
another view with control-T if you don't have one), then all the windows
should get placed within the visible region of the desktop again.
Since I´m using a mac (MacOS x 10.6) i was able to creat a new view using the option key + T, although using X
and G to expand and then gather the views was useless (a Mac-specific bug?). Fortunately, the menu bar on my
alignment window was still visible, so I was able to expand the views using the View menu, which brought the
windows to the middle of the desktop, where I could close the new view window and resize and replace the
original one to my heart's content.
I'm sorry I hadn't read the discussion archives carefully enough before posting my previous message!
Best,
Leon
I have what I think is a very dumb problem, but I´ve perused the discussion
archives and and haven't found a thread wit a similar problem. The thing is I
somehow managed to drag my main alignment window behind the desktop menu bar,
so that neither the red, yellow and green buttons or the top edge of the
alignment window are visible. As a result, I can no longer move the alignment
window. Is there anything I can do to restore its former mobility to the
alignment window?
Any hints will be much appreciated.
Best,
Leon
