Can't see the deluge window [win7]

Post by ThisIsDylan »

I use Deluge for the remote daemon and just uninstalled and updated to 1.3.2 . Lately I can't view the Deluge window when its running. I can see the window preview of the program though, http://i.imgur.com/eVfjO.png

Anyone know why?

It could have become positioned off the screen.

This is a problem with all GTK programs. I have two monitors. Let's say Deluge is on the right screen (#2) and I turn off the left monitor (#1). The right monitor now becomes #1 and Deluge gets moved to a non existing #2 monitor to the right. The same thing happens to GIMP and Pidgin. I've also tried GTK+ 2.24.0 without any luck :x

You can move it back by right clicking the window preview, selecting move and move it with keyboard arrows.

Hey all,

I have also a problem with the Deluge window. I have running Deluge 1.3.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2. When I minimize the Deluge Window to the Tray and open it again I only see the Titlebar and nothing else. I have no problems with other GTK Programs on the system so I think that it is a problem of Deluge.

BEST REGARDS!

So this happens every time? Could you supply a screenshot please.

I am not entirely sure how this could be a Deluge issue and until I have a Win7 VM I can't test this.

It is a program issue in the fact that the window show code should check if it is on a visible screen and not just remember its last coordinates, however here is a workaround for windows 7.

1. Click on the Tray Icon
2. Shift + Windows Key + Left or Right arrow.

This will move the app to a screen on the left or right. If that does not work try.

Windows Key + Up Arrow

This maximizes the app, and in most cases will reset it to the main screen, if you take it out of maximize it may move back off screen.
