Mix Window not recalling with session

[zakco]

PT Ultimate 2023.3.0
Mac OS 13.2.1

When I open a session, the mixer window doesn't get recalled to the correct (2nd) display. Instead it sits behind the edit window on the 1st display until I relocated it manually. It does this every time on every session.

Is there a preference will make it recall correctly or is this a bug with 13.2.1?

is it the full height of the screen ?
try shortening the height of the Mix Window to about 20 pixels from the bottom of the screen. save. reopen.

Not sure if it has anything to do with it, but have you tried disabling (or enabling, don't remember which) "Displays have separate Spaces" under "Desktop & Dock" in MacOS System Settings?

I've given up on PT and macOS windows/spaces/displays recall long ago. I've resigned to restoring window positions manually each time I open a session.

I think it's a question of PT development not keeping up with macOS changes.

This was happening a while ago. If I remember correctly (I believe Tweakhead is correct) it has to do with how you saved and closed the session -- If you save the session with the windows in "Full Screen" mode it will open on the main display only (at least that was what was happening before)

If you have the edit on one display and mix on the other ----if you save manually just shy of full screen OR ( If you hold "Option" and then click the green button upper left) it will resize almost full but leaving the header bar and dock displayed),, and then save and close , it will open with edit on one display and mix on the other

Thanks for the replies everyone. I don't have any PT windows in full screen, always a tiny bit shy of each edge.

Unfortunately not, thanks though!

Interestingly enough, the video window and plugin GUIs retain their position. Seems that the only one affected is the mixer window, odd.

FWIW, Moom will restore all your window positions with a keystroke or automatically:

Looks like it's just my 3rd display (a sony TV) that's affected. Everything recalls correctly to the first 2 displays (Benq monitors). Could be the HDMI splitter...will investigate more.
