Thread: pgAdmin 1.4.3 shows no dialog on right click

Hi, I've been experiencing a strange problem on pgAdmin 1.4.3 and 1.4.2 on Windows XP Pro SP2 running postgresql
8.1.4<br/><br />Whenever I try to use one of the following dialogs that should appear on a mouse rightclick, "New
Function","New Database", nothing happens. This is not the case when I right click on one of the icons for Trigger
Functions,Procedures, Aggregates, Tables etc. in the left-most listview. <br /><br />Clicking on the "Databases" icon
inthe leftmost view and choosing "New Database" from the popupmenu that appears results in no action being done.
Nothingappears, no dialog and no error message. While it works fine for items such as Tables, Sequences, Trigger
Functions,Types. <br /><br />I am absolutely stumped, this used to work perfectly fine, I tried searching the FAQ but
couldntfind anything describing this. Google wasnt much help either.<br /><br />Could anybody help me out with this? Or
amI basically stuck to writing SQL statements in the query window whenever I want to create a new database or function?
<br/><br />Thanks for any help,<br /><br />giovanni<br clear="all" /><br />-- <br />Chocolate Cappuccino<br /><a

Sounds like the dialogs are opening off-screen. Look for the relevant x,y keys in the registry under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pgadminIII\ (iirc) and set them to zero. I can't check the exact keyname atm I'm afraid. 

Regards , Dave

Nothing appears, no dialog and no error message. While it works fine for

I am absolutely stumped, this used to work perfectly fine, I tried searching
the FAQ but couldnt find anything describing this. Google wasnt much help

Could anybody help me out with this? Or am I basically stuck to writing SQL
statements in the query window whenever I want to create a new database or
function?

Thanks for any help,

Thanks so much! This was exactly the problem, I was going crazy, uninstalling-installing and rebooting without any change. Should have figured it was something like this.

I set the Top, Left values to 0 as you suggested for the following registry items
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pgAdmin III\Properties\Database
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pgAdmin III\Properties\Function

Thanks again,

gio
