Window Position Problem (macOS Sequoia)

[jasret]

I've been using DOSBox SVN64 for many years and decided to move to dosbox-x before Apple makes Rosetta-2 disappear. I use DOSBox for only one old DOS app, a financial program from the mid/late 1980s called MYM, so I'm not running anything that will stress DOSBox much. The problem I've run into in switching over is getting the DOSBox window sized and positioned correctly on my screen.

I'm running this on a Mac Mini M2Pro (Sequoia 15.7.4) with a BenQ PD2700U monitor set to 2560x1440 resolution. When I run using the default config file the resulting window is too small (720x400) with the window's upper-left corner at (900,300) from the upper-left corner of the screen. I modified the windowresolution to 1680x1080 (which I've been using with the older DOSBox) which gets the size where I want it, but the window is offset to the right with the upper-left corner at (880,300). I tried changing the windowsposition to 450,150 which moved the window so that the upper-left corner was at (450,360). As an experiment, I then tried 450,0 which put the window at (450,360) again. The log output shows that the window position is being interpreted correctly, but the window yposition appears to be incorrectly handled (or, equally as likely, I don't know what I'm doing).

It is not lost on me that 360 = yMaxScreen(1440) - yMaxWindow(1080), but I'm not sure what that tells me.

The attached file contains excerpts from the log file for the first three cases with the window size/placement pertinent info from the log.

And many thanks to everyone who helps keep this beastie going.

There were some fixes recently related to window position.

Can you try a nightly build to see if it's resolved for you ?

No, I get the same behavior. I've attached the log files for the default settings and the windowposition=450,150 setting.

I see 🤔

Could please you post this as an Issue over in the Issue tab ?

The discussion tab is not checked for bug-reports that often, afaik.

Will do. Thanks.
