Description

I can't use the side panel, would it be possible to change its position so that it appears correctly? I found that on Linux I can use sidePanelPosition=, is there something similar on Windows?

Steps to reproduce

  1. run flameshot
  2. try take a screeshot
  3. Don't be able to find de side panel

Screenshots or screen recordings

My display setup: Image

I tried several positions, when the Y positions of the monitors are the same, the side panel appears normally. In some, it works, but still cuts off part of it. Image

Would you be able to test this release from the CI to see if #4127 resolved the issue? https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/actions/runs/16895902063

@borgmanJeremy I tested, but the problem remains. The side panel is still offset.

My display setup is 3000x1920:

I think "Tool Settings" button should be not in side of screen but as other button around selected area 😏

Example:

On Linux (EndeavourOS) the behavior of the sidebar positioning is different:

Just to add more context about the screenshot, my monitor arrangement is very similar to @Kaiwawa but the sidebar starts where the left monitor was "supposed" to start. Basically you will see a black area covering more than half of the left monitor. That is because of the way Flameshot is shifted down.

I can confirm is happening to me too, i think is centering and settings the size of the panel around the 2nd monitor while showing it on the 1st

With both monitors on(right one is the main one): Image

With just the secondary monitor(the left one) on: Image
