Small window size hides buttons and content

[kusterjs]

Upon installing the 1.3.0 beta, my windows default size was quite small, resulting in no buttons and neither the right column of the main window being displayed. While the resizing seems to work as designed, wouldn't it make sense to require a minimum size for the large window mode, so that no parts of the application are hidden?
From a few tests, I seems like the mini mode is already a defined resizing, which results in hiding parts of the application. Since the button to go back to the large window mode is hidden by default, my initial user reaction was just to resize the window manually, which lead to the same situation where not all content was shown.

Have you ever had TrackAudio installed before? Or was the beta your first install?

[kusterjs]

I had 1.2.0 installed before.

[neilenns]

Ok. Just so I understand, on first launch it was narrower than you expected (which hid the sidebar), but once you resized it bigger it's properly remembering that size across app launches?

[kusterjs]

No, it doesn't. It's always launched in smaller size.

[neilenns]

No, it doesn't. It's always launched in smaller size.

Hmmmm. What platform are you on?

[kusterjs]

Windows 11. In fact the window get's smaller with every time. So if I don't resize, it will be even smaller the next time. Looks like a wrong value is saved for the window size.

Thanks for the video! A few follow-ups:

1. Do you have multiple monitors?
2. Is this on your primary or your secondary monitor?
3. Is the monitor 4k?

[kusterjs]

Yes, multiple monitors. This is my secondary, which is not a 4K. The primary though is one.

[neilenns]

Yes, multiple monitors. This is my secondary, which is not a 4K. The primary though is one.

Ok I was afraid of that.

Does it work correctly if you do this on your primary monitor?

[kusterjs]

Yes, there it seems to work.

Also just noticed that the mini window version will keep its old place (if I don't specifically move it). But I guess this is a desired behaviour?

[neilenns]

The remembering position is by design, implemented here: #103. It matches the vatis behaviour and means you don't have to re-position the mini-mode to your favourite place every time you run TrackAudio.

Your issue is, unfortunately, a bug. You can see my mention of it in that PR.

[neilenns]

Digging into this a bit, it appears to be an underlying issue with Electron and multiple monitors that have different scaling percentages. I've found at least two open issues in their github with similar symptoms, neither of which have any response from an Electron developer :(

Will poke around and see if I can find a workaround.

Please try beta 2 to see if Neil's fix worked
