<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I have found a bug with Paraview 5.3 on Windows 7 (did not test to see if it also exists on other versions/OS's). I recently changed computers, so I moved my old computer to a spare desk. My old computer used
to have two monitors, but now it only has one. The last time I used Paraview, back when it had two monitors, the file-open dialog was on the second monitor. Now that the computer only has one monitor, it still places the file-open dialog on the "second," nonexistent
monitor. I fixed this by simply plugging in a second monitor, moving the file-open window back to the primary monitor, then re-removed the second monitor. This is true for all dialog windows such as the python terminal and trace. I do not know if this is a
Paraview or general Qt issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">It's not very often that someone gets rid of monitors, so it's probably low priority, but it was certainly one of the most confusing issues I've ever resolved, so I thought it was worth mentioning to the community.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p>
