JMRI menus don't open using Real VNC to RPi
#rpi
#vnc
|
Using recently downloaded RPi image from Steve Todd, when I try to open a PanelPro menu item such as LocoNet, I get a flash but the menu never opens... It returns to pre-clicked state.
I am using Real VNC connecting to RPi 3B. Steve's image is slightly modified in that the AP SSID is now RPi-NRMRC2 and the Pi name is also RPi-NRMRC2.? RealVNC connects without error. Steve's image is dated 20250211. VNC Viewer is 7.13.1 for Windows. Log is below. David T 13:53:18,275 apps.util.Log4JUtil??????????????????

Well! How embarrassing! I went back to try the window opening and now it works. Possibly because I restarted the RealVNC client.

I’ve noticed this happening a lot. Usually if you minimise and then restore the window, suddenly it works again

I’ve put it down to “one of those things” Phil G On 4 Mar 2025, at 00:40, David Thompson via groups.io <DavidCT1960@...> wrote: |

There are a lot of "one of those things" with JMRI on a RPi with VNC. A favorite of mine is the JMRI windows which open at the top left of the VNC screen and hide the window title bar so that it is impossible to move the window. My workaround is to place the RPi menu bar at the bottom of the screen so that I can maximize the window from the menu bar. That restores the title bar and I can un-maximize the window and move it. The other favorite is that I have noticed that the Window menu in all the JMRI windows does not bring windows which are hidden behind other windows to the foreground.
