Title: Space Race problem
Post by: zazu on May 23, 2012, 06:57:57 PM

Hello, I've recently started up the Space Race scenario provided by Steve but I quickly ran into some problems.

The scenario itself works, but about half of my windows are apparently outside of my monitors reach, like I have a second monitor is activated but it isn't.

How can I get those poor windows back into the fold? Much appreciated :)

There's a menu item to reset window positions. That will fix it.

I forgot to mention it, but I did try that a couple times.

Also restarting Aurora... Still no dice :(

I used to have the same problem.  There are ways to fix it.  What operating system are you using?

I've been unable to use the latest version of aurora no matter what I try because of similar problem. I'm hoping 5.7 / 6.0 fix it.

On Windows if you have a window of an application that is off screen or hidden under your taskbar and you can not get access to it, the following set of key strokes should bring it on screen to your mouse.

Open the window you are trying to reach that is off screen.
Put your mouse in the middle of the screen.
Press Alt-SpaceBar
Press m
Press one of your arrow keys (up/down/left/right) any of them will do
Now move your mouse on screen and the window should be attached to the mouse.

Oohh, that worked. Cheers! I can finally get on 5.6, before 6.0 comes out. Haha! 

I hadn't thought of using the arrow keys to attach the window like that.
