WeekendProducer Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 I'm stuck with trying to create a new document in Affinity Designer and not being able to see the popup dialog window after choosing "New document" from the File menu. The source of the problem is that I'm using a 4K monitor as a single and Primary screen for my laptop. After I went away with my laptop, the pop-up New document window is showing somewhere out of the visible (FHD) screen of my laptop. This is really annoying. The popup should be rendered in the middle of the parent window, not independently to the last known, and in my case, non-existing and out of reach, screen position. Quote
