Hello,
It seems Casper Admin remembers its window positions, which is
ordinarily a good thing -- the Admin window is right where you left
it the last time you quit the program. Unfortunately, this can cause
a problem when using a laptop with a secondary screen attached.
While I had both screens active, I quit Casper Admin while the Admin
window was open on the secondary screen. Later, when I was away from
my desk (and only had the built-in screen available to me), I
launched Casper Admin again. I got the Casper Admin menu bar, but the
window was not visible to me. I eventually figured out that the Admin
window would have been open on the secondary screen, but that screen
was no longer available to the computer.
I tried adjusting the screen resolution; I tried using the "Detect
Displays" command; I tried quitting and relaunching Casper Admin.
However, I was unable to convince the Casper Admin window to appear
until I reattached the secondary screen. Then I could move the Admin
window back to the primary screen.
In hindsight, I suppose I could have tried using AppleScript to set
the position of the window, but still -- I feel that Casper Admin
should check to see if its window will be outside the screen
boundary, and adjust the positioning if necessary.
I haven't checked to see whether Casper or Composer also exhibit this
behavior, but if they do, well... They should also check their window
position versus the available screen boundary.
