Ken,
?
Attached are a couple of traces. They are really traces of the same activity but I noticed something interesting. Process was:
?
- Start JMRI
- Select profile "foo"
- Open the Display/Edit Log Categories pane
- Set the logging level to TRACE for jmri.util.JmriJFrame
- Close the Display/Edit Log pane
- Open the Console pane. (It's skinny the very first time opened after the profile is created but JMRI remembers the geometry after that)
- Open Tools -> Tables -> Turnouts (this pane is never skinny...looks fine and retains any new size or position I give it)
- Click "Add..." in the Turnout Table.
- Skinny edit pane appears. Changing the size by hand is never remembered by JMRI
- Copy and paste the log into a text file
You'll notice in the log that I put a blank line between steps 5 and 6 and also between steps 7 and 8 just for clarity.
?
I looked over the log and noticed references to screens 3 and 5. That reminded me that I'm running three desktops on the system. So, effectively, 6 monitors, so 3 and 5 would make sense. Seemed promising....maybe the OS is fetching screen sizes for screens that are not displayed and therefore zero? The trace named "JMRI_Trace_3_Desktops.txt" was captured running in this configuration.
?
To test the question of whether 3 desktops were the problem, I deleted desktops 2 and 3 and reran JMRI. Oddly, the log still showed references to screens 3 and 5. So, I rebooted the system and tried again. This time the log showed references to screen 1 and 2. You can see that in the other trace ("JMRI_Trace_1_Desktop.txt").
?
That's it for now. BTW, I also run desktops on the older system and did not have any problems.
