Multi monitor problems

[JohnR]

I run version 5.1.4 and use it across two monitors.

When I request a new child window it is always far too big, stretching across both monitors, and is usually not visible. I have to scroll the whole viewport to the right, leaving all open windows behind, then pick up the new window and move it across both monitors to the far right. I then scroll the empty viewport back to the left to see my windows again and fiddle around to remove the scroll bars.

Is there something I can do to stop this problem?

Can you try this with the 6.0 beta version? If your license does not allow you to upgrade to 6.0, you can download a trial version here .

I went back to have a look at this problem and found that the help for "save layout" says that this menu option also saves the size of the currently open windows. I decided to try this to fix one of the problems above.

I opened each type of window and then did a "save layout".

I have found that it has fixed both problems. My windows open to the correct size and appear inside my currently open viewport and not scrolled off to one side.

I am a new user of PLSQL Developer so maybe the problem was caused because I didn't have any default sizes already set up?

So thanks for your response, but I'll stick with my current version at the moment!
