Subject: while moving/resizing view window it jumps off screen

I'm not sure exactly how I caused this to occur, but I think I tried to resize and move the display window while a stream was being played back. During the operation the display window relocated itself several hundred pixes from where mouse pointer was located, while it did track the mouse it did so very eratically, eventually the entire display was lost off screen with negative x or y coordinates. I had to edit config.xml file to recover normal display location.

might be worth while to add code to prevent negative values from being stored in config file or adding a reset button to reset display to known state.

Can I second this and provide another example, I copied the program from one computer to my laptop. On my desktop I had the control interface on my secondary display and my laptop only has a single display, thus when I started the program I could not see the control interface as it was off the screen.

Could I suggest at program start up get the current screen resolution and check that the current placement settings for the Video and Controller window are within those bounds. If not move them into the Screen area.

I would provide code except I am code ignorant in this instance, sorry.

Good point, Girkers, I will suggest a fix for that.
