3.9.0 Beta2 Chat window size on clean start

[dcorson-ticino-com]

Describe the bug After a clean installation the chat window opens at Connect very small at the top left corner of the screen. After closing Jamulus and restarting, the chat window opens the same at the top left corner of the screen. After changing the window size and closing Jamulus the behaviour is as normal.

If I remember correctly the default size of the popup windows is always usable. Could it be that there is a change in the startup behaviour that is skipping setting defaults somewhere? Maybe also the reason for the user volume bug.

Found on Win10

Hopefully not the Qt6 support...

Thanks. @dcorson-ticino-com Can you confirm that this issue does not occur with previous versions (if so, which)?

@ann0see What part are you suspecting?

[ann0see]

Nothing specific. It's just interesting that it showed up in this beta. However: maybe it's also related to some ini file reading logic which changed? But that's just guessing

A clean install of 3.8.0 puts the chat window with a usable size in the middle of the Jamulus window. This is how I remember it.

3.9.0beta1 fresh start (no existing ini) had the chat window open middle of the screen on my Ubuntu 18.04 desktop. I noticed in testing 3.9.0beta2 with a fresh start (no existing ini) that window popped up top left corner of screen. The size of the window in both versions remained unchanged for me.

EDIT: Hm - thought I'd tested this today... just remembered I'd forgotten to copy the beta2 to my other box.

I'll try a clean now.

Nope, seems fine. The chat window appears directly in front of the app window, with its boundaries slightly smaller. Seems normal here.

OK something's weird 'though. I just did another clean install, uninstalled Jamulus and removed AppData>Jamulus. This time I have the right size, but the position is still not right, upper left corner.

I don't think this can be explained by the version change. I don't see any code changes which could be related. So something else must be going on?

@dcorson-ticino-com Any luck tracking this down any further?

[dcorson-ticino-com]

No, and the last install with 3.9.0 was OK. It must have picked up some strange ini file here on this compi. I think I need to clean out all the old test versions here. Don

Thanks for the feedback. I guess it's fine to close this issue then. Feel free to re-open if this issue re-appears somehow.
