Dialog boxes frequently off edge of screen

[freds_shadow]

One frustrating thing I've found with Pandora is that many windows will have a preset size that takes them off the edge of the screen. Some of these windows are even for Xfce settings, while others are for midnight commander and Anki.


There are no doubt more, but does anyone know of a way to either force them to fit or to enable moving a window by clicking somewhere other than the title bar?


Some window managers allow dragging the window around (and off the edge of the screen) by clicking on the window anywhere so longer as a particular key is pressed. Others require you to click the edges but allow you to move the window off-screen as well. FVWM once had a desktop that was larger than the screen. Annoying in some ways but it'd be handy for some programs.

The Pandora can do this. Whilst on most distros the key you need to press is usually Alt, on the Pandora it's mapped to Shift/the left shoulder-button.


I hope this helps you out.

Good day


Some software must be buggy


For example goldendict has this problem, the add dictonaries screen can be moved down


but not up using shift or left shoulder. You can pull the screen down halfway,


but not return it to original position

For some reason double-clicking the title bar fixes that issue.
