Question - UI moves every time I move a window from one screen to another. Anyone have a good solution?

[Granditos]

I’m sure I’m not the only one that deals with this. But while boxing I occasionally move a window from one screen to another and every time I do, it shuffles every box in my UI into random locations.

The fix I have using is going into copy layout in option and then selecting one of my saved layouts. It is incredibly annoying. And even more infuriating, the last time I did this, none of the saved layouts reverted me to where everything was just moments ago (before I moved screens).

Anyone else have a best practice for this?

are you using isboxer?
if so, check the mqsettings for overlay

Are the screens the exact same resolution? This includes Windows font size.

Two are the same resolution but then I occasionally use my laptop screen as the third screen, which is a different resolution.

But this happens when moving from one monitor to another which is exactly the same resolution, font size, and model.

its all in your ui_server_toon.ini, multiple settings per resolution and i think they get around the multi monitor by making crazy out of range sizes for the parts, so your thing gets all jumpled, i do not know how to fix it.

I found that by keeping all screens the exact same resolution would do it. But that can be a problem, depending on your setup.

Yeah, this is a bit of a problem since I also use my laptop screen in addition to two monitors. Won’t be able to get those to match. Weird part is, when switching back and forth between identical monitors the issue happens too. I wonder if the third monitor (laptop screen) is creating this issue even when a window doesn’t touch it.

I’ll play around with it. Thanks.

I have not touched it in a long while, but you might give winEQ 2022 a try. It used to help with that sort of thing. It is specifically built to help manage multiboxing on window, and is advertised on EQ forums.
