0.98.4 (and older): Window randomly resizes itself on macOS
Posted: Tue Jun 22, 2021 6:14 pm
XnView: 0.98.4 64bits (May 28 2021) (but has been happening for a while now)
OS: macOS 10.14.6 (18G103)
Effect: Sometimes when using XnView MP, the window randomly resizes itself on the X axis, going beyond my desktop's frame.
Normally my window is 2560 pixels wide, so taking up the full display space on a 2560x1440 display.
However, when this bug occurs, it takes on a pretty wild and random resolution, like so:
In this instance, the window is 3928 pixels wide (1.53x). However, this does not seem to be consistent - another reproduction yielded a window that was 4061 pixels wide (1.59x).
I do not know a good way to reliably reproduce this issue, but it does happen to me daily. I usually keep XnView MP on a secondary virtual desktop and switch to it when I need to use it. I also don't exit out of the application unless this bug occurs, so it might also be related to uptime.
However, when it happens, it keeps happening on a very regular basis whenever opening an image from the browser, browsing through images or deleting images in the viewer mode. I can resize the window back to its normal size, scroll through the images for a few seconds rapidly and it's almost certainly gone beyond the screen borders again. The remedy is to relaunch the application, which usually keeps it working for at least a little bit.
One issue that I've speculated about is the fact that I'm running two monitors - on the left side of the monitor with XnView MP I have another monitor with an identical resolution.
This also appears to be a macOS-exclusive issue - I use the same dual-monitor display on my Windows 10 PC as well and I have never observed XnView MP exhibiting this issue there.
