shiftit - issue #6

screen size interpretation


Posted on Apr 20, 2010 by Massive Cat

To reproduce the problem: 1. Open calculator 2. use hot keys to move app around the screen 3. use ctrl+option+cmd+arrow to move the app around

The app does not dock to the proper locations on the screen for 1920x1200 res. Additionally, the hot keys seem to not move the app for certain combinations.

I am using version 10.6.

Appears to be related to fixed size windows- shiftit wants to resize the window to 1/4 screen size when using the ctrl+option+cmd+arrow combo to move around, and places the topleft corner of the window as if it had been resized. Similar issues with the option+cmd+arrow moves. System Preferences displays similar issues, though when it is in a lower position, part of the window is off the screen (I have two rows of Other preference pane icons, so my window may be taller than standard.)

Window positioning appears to be set by placing the window topleft at one of four positions, screen (minus the menubar) topleft, topmid, midleft, or midmid. If the window was resized, it would be either half or quarter the screen (minus menubar) depending on whether the control key was part of the movement.

So unless shiftit special calculates the positioning based on the actual size of the window, any fixed size window will be placed incorrectly except for the topleft position.
