can't place control where I want in my GUI

Post by Domtar »

To help you better we need some information from you.

*** Please fill in the fields below. If you leave fields empty or specify 'latest' rather than the actual version your answer will be delayed as we will be forced to ask you for this information. ***

Product, version and build: PowerShell Studio 2019 5.6.165
32 or 64 bit version of product: 64 bit
Operating system: win 10
32 or 64 bit OS: 64 bit

while creating a new GUI, inside a TabControl, whenever I drag a new control into the TabControl, the new control automatically goes into the top left corner. if I move it with the mouse, when clicking to set the control in its place, it goes back to the top left corner of the tabControl.

what am I doing wrong?

thanks!

edit: if you wish to recreate the issue, create a new empty GUI, add a TabControl, add a button into the tab control and try to move the button.

edit 2: my co-worker does not have this issue. I was updated to Windows 10 1903 last week as a test. he is not. maybe there is a relation.

*** Please add details and screenshots as needed below. ***

Thanks for reporting the issue. We'll be investigating if it's Windows 10 Build 1903 related and get back to you soon.

We can't seem to find any issue following your steps using Windows 10 Build 1903. In either using main local and extended display monitor.

We were able to:
1. Create an empty form
2. Add the tab control
3. Select Tabpage1
4. Add Button Control 1
5. Select Tabpage2
6. Add Button Control 2
7. Go back to Tabpage1
8. Move Button1 -> OK
9. Select Tabpage2
10. Move Button2 -> OK

It seems working! Is there any additional steps we might be missing?
Please, let us know.

well, maybe my system is corrupted. I do have a few bugs since that update, like process explorer refusing to show on my screen for example.

I'll re-install my studio and see if the issue is back. I'll post something if not.

thanks for trying!

Ah!! Yes! there are a few bugs and one of the is... in my case, on an extended display it won't not run video files.
So, it may be related to a display driver.

Everything it possible with Microsoft!
