"Floating" Track Window
kreator:
I am having trouble with this also.
It first raised its head when I was using the graph editor, and timeslide both appear to go to the top of my screen in a very small window (Screenshot) I think its trying to float the graph editor as well.
amd radeon Win 10 Pro One Monitor
Will try it out on the Nvidia card on the desktop
Seems ok on Nvidia Card Both are visible
Steve:
What build are you using? Build 1222 fixed a similar bug where the main window was opening as a tiny window in the upper left corner of the screen. I haven't been able to reproduce this in the floating graph/track window.
kreator:
Build 1222 on both machines

Yes i can, and its excellent. :)
I suppose the main thing i'm trying to achieve is to have the pop-up 'key value editors' appear on the same monitor as the timetrack.
At present, they will always pop up on the monitor which shows the main anim8or interface. (not really suitable if the timetrack is on another monitor and you're setting keys/working from the timetrack.)
In a nutshell, the key value editors need to 'float' and 'stay', just like the timetrack and graph editor do. They need to 'remember where' they have been floated to, so they'll pop up there again next time.
Sorry to bring this up again, if it's something you already have in your list(s) of things to do, and perhaps related to:

I was just looking for a workaround and realised that floating the camera view to another monitor would allow me to float the timetrack back to the original monitor, where the editors are currently appearing.
