Studio windows on 2nd screen saving in different position off edge of screen

Thank you - we are aware of this one but have not had time to get back to it due to other issues surrounding the docking system. Will post here once we have an update.

Still experiencing this issue for months now. It’s become almost a habit of having to drag the windows back down considering I open multiple studio instances everyday. Anything new would be greatly appreciated and apologies in advance for the bump.

I was just going to report this still happening tonight as well.
Looks like @EpicFaceGuy050 beat me to it.

Same issue as before:
Terrain, Toolbox windows stay stationary.
Properties, Explorer and Output move up and slightly left each time Studio is opened.

Any word on this? It’s been 7 months.

Every time I open studio I have to move these windows.
It means I can’t have the windows the full height of my screen otherwise the tops disappear and I can’t move them.

@music_man1996 any word on this? I see you’ve closed out the other post from Sept. '22 but this one is still occurring for me.

@ElephantMesh you mentioned knowing about this in February but nothing since.

Another bit of information to add (probably insignificant), I replaced my tower months ago and have uninstalled/reinstalled Roblox and Studio so I know it’s not on my end.

I think it’s, because of the bar…



If you can see in this picture, it can be seen, that it’s in the same position as the bar



If you can see in this picture, the windows moved above the bar.


After showing these pictures, I suggest resizing the windows to the level of the bar.

Do you mean the slider bar at the bottom of the Explorer window?
If that is the case then why do the Properties and Output window move too?

Every time I open Studio all 3 windows move up that much. When it’s opened the second time if it was the slider bar causing the height issue then I would expect that it wouldn’t keep moving up once it’s above the bottom 10 mm of the screen.

The same reason as I said before.
They are on the level as the start bar (or how it’s called in English), so every time the studio restarts, they move up.

I mean this:

I get what you mean.
The reason I don’t believe that’s the issue is I’ve resized both the Explorer and Properties windows so there’s about 30 mm of space between the top of the screen and the top of each window. If I don’t move the windows each time I open Studio and allow them to keep moving up the entire top edges of the windows move above the top edge of my screen and the bottom of each window is 30 mm above the bottom edge of my second screen.
This is way above the Task Bar at the bottom of the other screen.
Also until December of last year this never happened.

Weird, but did you updated your computer in December '22?

Just Roblox updates and standard Windows updates.
Got a new computer at the end of March. Problem still happens.

@thirdtakeonit replied that they’d look into it, and ElephantMesh’s post in Feb. says they are aware of the issue, so I was just trying to get an update of any plans for fixing it.

Now I can’t help you further, because I have only one monitor.

The sound of crickets chirping in the distance…

& @music_man1996 this is still happening. It’s been 11 months.

Maybe even @MeshOfPaul?

It probably seems like a minor thing to you, but I usually open Studio a few times a week with this issue. As well as when I open different sessions of Studio at the same time it keeps raising these windows up and left in steps on my 2nd monitor.

That’s not crickets, it’s the sound of our engineers furiously typing away at a new docking solution! Seriously though, this has been our number 1 issue to get stomped out for this entire year. It took us months to get a handle on the actual problem(s) and then it’s taken a couple months to plan and build the “fix”.

The solution is a major change to the docking system. With such a big change, it will be available as an opt-in Beta feature later this month. I will post to all the threads once it’s live. I expect to see everyone on this thread flipping it on on day 1 :slight_smile:

Awesome! I love the comparison of cricket chirps = keyboard clicks. Please pass on my deepest appreciation to everyone working on the docking system and all of the other unmentioned improvements and fixes.

I know from experience the ‘it should only take a few minutes to fix’ reaction to issues that are much deeper than their outward appearance.
Much love from me! :hugs:

I had to use a 13 years old laptop, and I could use the 2 screen .

The windows on the second screen went higher every time I rejoined.

I can only say, this is still reproducable.

As Paul just mentioned, it should be fixed this month.

Just to let you know the new Beta Updated Docking system doesn’t fix the movement of windows on the 2nd monitor.
I saw your post about it earlier today and got really exited. I just turned it on then restarted Studio which of course meant I had to move all my other windows back to my 2nd monitor where I want them, and after working for a while I closed out of Studio. I reopened Studio and the 3 windows mentioned in my first post here are still creeping up and left.
Frustrating…
Does it have to do with the 2nd monitor not having actual ‘docked’ locations like the first monitor’s west, north, south and east locations?

Yeah I saw that issue was mentioned in the announcement thread and asked the team. The response was:

There’s a bug, where on restoring widgets shift a few pixels up or down. As if the frame wasn’t taking into account before / after restoring. Unrelated to the recent docking changes

So I’ll double check to see if there’s a ticket on this, specifically.

Ok.
But just let the team know it’s not a few pixels up or down, it’s about 1/2" (13 mm) up on a 22" monitor every time Studio is reopened.
