Thread: Bug: title bar goes away
All, I'm having a recurring issue that sometimes I will start up pgadmin and the title bar (the one which says "pgadmin", and which you need to grab in order to move pgadmin around the screen) has vanished, and pgadmin is "glued" to the top of the screen. The only way to cure this seems to be to wipe out my pgadmin profile, and start over. As you can imagine, this is annoying. Not sure if this is wxwindows or pgadmin, but the fact that I can fix it by deleting the configuration profile suggests the latter. Platform is OSX 10.5. Version 1.10.1 --Josh Berkus

As you can imagine, this is annoying. Never seen that myself, despite a Mac being my primary machine. Can you narrow down what setting(s) are causing it? I would imagine it's something in the frmMain section of the file. I'd start with the Perspective string. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com PG East Conference: http://www.enterprisedb.com/community/nav-pg-east-2010.do

I don't know this data well enough to diagnose it, so here it is: Perspective-7758=layout2|name=objectBrowser;caption=Object browser;state=16779260;dir=4;layer=1;row=0;pos=0;prop=100000;bestw=200;besth=450;minw=100;minh=200;maxw=-1;maxh=-1;floatx=236;floaty=222;floatw=-1;floath=-1|name=listViews;caption=Info pane;state=1020;dir=5;layer=0;row=0;pos=0;prop=100000;bestw=400;besth=200;minw=200;minh=100;maxw=-1;maxh=-1;floatx=-1;floaty=-1;floatw=-1;floath=-1|name=sqlPane;caption=SQL pane;state=16779260;dir=3;layer=0;row=0;pos=0;prop=100000;bestw=400;besth=200;minw=200;minh=100;maxw=-1;maxh=-1;floatx=-1;floaty=-1;floatw=-1;floath=-1|name=toolBar;caption=Tool bar;state=16788208;dir=1;layer=10;row=0;pos=0;prop=100000;bestw=520;besth=39;minw=-1;minh=-1;maxw=-1;maxh=-1;floatx=-1;floaty=-1;floatw=-1;floath=-1|dock_size(5,0,0)=202|dock_size(3,0,0)=611|dock_size(1,10,0)=41|dock_size(4,1,0)=435| Left=0 Top=0 Width=1226 Height=800
Dave, Oh, one more thing which might bear on this: this particular machine is frequently connected and disconnected to a 2nd monitor while pgAdmin is running. However, there is not a direct cause-and-effect sequence there; last time I lost the title bar, pgadmin was not running. --Josh Berkus
Sorry - i meant does the problem go away if u remove just that line (or any other) rather than the whole file?

My machine is used in a similar way.

Ok, instead of restarting,please try the 'default layout' option (or whatever its called) on the view menu.

Dave,
I'm still getting this, except that now I'm getting it intermittently on
query windows. Using "default view" and/or "Zoom" makes the title bar
accessible again.
I think that this is probably a wxWindows bug. How do I check my
wxWindows version on Mac?

If you're using the packages we provide, then you're using 2.8.9 which we use for all the Mac builds of pgAdmin and the one-click installer. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com PG East Conference: http://www.enterprisedb.com/community/nav-pg-east-2010.do
