TC 8.51a - Windows 10 - interesting menu positioning

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

TC 8.51a - Windows 10 - interesting menu positioning

Post by *kzaabox »

Hi!

I've just installed Windows 10 TP in a VM and tried TC on it.

The very first thing I was noticed is what you can see on this screenshot:

All of the menus are opening to left instead of right.

It is not a huge "bug", but interesting. I just wonder what kind of modification in the Windows UI could cause something like this.

Maybe TC receives wrong position for the top-left corner of the main window.
It would be caused by the thinner window border in Windows 10.

May be not TC issue

see http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-desktop/windows-7-application-menus-drop-to-left-instead/2d362701-90e4-4ea6-a3a1-c1391a3d2bea

or open Tablet PC settings: shell:::{80F3F1D5-FECA-45F3-BC32-752C152E456E}
It's impossible to lead us astray for we don't care even to choose the way.

TC uses a standard Windows menu control (owner-drawn), so the position of the dropdown menus is not in my control. I recommend that you check the link posted b y "Ovg".

Thanks!

I changed the "Handedness" option to "Left-handed" and the menus in TC are now opening to the right direction.
