[Bug 1744316] Re: Help window opens outside of the screen area

 

I can reproduce the Cmd+W-"Problem" and the crash. 'atos' seems to be
some kind of debugger, did you start Hugin normally (double clicking
Hugin.app)? The dialog would give the debugger permission to analyze
Hugin *after* it crashed.

I am however not able to reproduce that the help window opens halfway
outside the screen.

(macOS 10.12.6)

Title:
  Help window opens outside of the screen area

Status in Hugin:
  New

Bug description:
  tested on OS X 10.11 / Hugin 2018.0.0 rc1

  The Help window opens outside of the screen area both when opening the
  help window from the menu and also when clicking on the question mark
  button inside the enblend options dialog.

  Opening Help from the menu shows the window with the title bar at a
  position with negative y coordinates, thus the standard close button
  of OS X can't be reached with the mouse. Mac OS X 10.11 doesn't allow
  such a window to be dragged to another position other than using the
  upper title bar of the window. So it should be tested that a new
  window opens with the upper left corner inside the screens field of
  view.

  As a test I have created a shortcut (using a third party macro editor)
  to manually reposition the front most window's top left corner to x=50
  / y = 50. That actually works and now I tested if I had accidentally
  dragged one such window to this wrong coordinates and that position
  was later stored by my system prefs. So I closed the correctly
  repositioned window and tried opening it again: it still opens at a
  too high position.

  Also the help window can't be closed using the standard shortcut on
  Mac OS X: Cmd+W

  BTW the 'about' window is opened in the center of the screen.

  Now when the help window is front most and I try to quit Hugin (Cmd+Q) Hugin will crash this way:
  A dialog opens 
  "atos needs to take control of another process for debugging to continue. Type the name and password of a user in the 'Developer Tools' group to allow this."
  username:
  password:
  [Cancel] [Continue]

  There is no such group defined on my system and no matter what user/pw
  I try or click 'Cancel' the program will crash.
