Please help with SciTE for AutoIt wierdness

[Mbee]

As I was reaching for my keyboard, my fingers must have pressed a hotkey or something, since the Autoit code file I was working on jumped from one monitor to another, and nothing I try fixes the problem, including rebooting and then also re-installing the latest release of SciTE for Autoit. No matter what, when I double-click an .au3 file, it opens almost full screen on the wrong monitor, and the OS won't let me drag it back.

I looked for recently modified config and property files relating to the application, but saw no changes today, and not for a week or so.

As others have discovered, there appears to be no support forum for SciTE, so I can't turn there. Any ideas, folks?

Hey,

Are you using any multi-monitor tools? Maybe it's position has been saved?

Or maybe it's in fullscreen mode? F11 for that.

Windows + directional keys  also moves windows around.

Sure: Simply edit file SciTE.session in %localAppData%\AutoIt v3\SciTE as I described here:

Thanks! I was playing around with the user options and related files, but I wasn't sure which set to make the changes to, user or global, for example. But it's working correctly again, thanks!

Thanks, @GokAy !  It's ironic as hell, but the script and UDFs I had been working on at the time were directly related to moving windows around on a multi-monitor system! 😊  In fact, I'm just about to try to publish it here...

Of course the first thing I checked was whether what I was seeing was my own damn fault, but fortunately it wasn't.
