Question

Pods do not maintain their positions when loading a customised Environment in RoboHelp 8

RoboHelp 8.0.2.208

Windows XP Pro

Dual-screen workstation


Have just installed RH8 and performed the two available updates, bringing it up to 8.0.2.208.

RH8 is installed locally, on my computer only, and I am the only user.

I have a workstation with two monitors. The Windows desktop is spread across the two.

I have arranged the RH interface such that the main window is on the left monitor, and this is where topics dock automatically when I open them. I have also opened a variety of pods, arranged them on the right-hand monitor, and then saved this Environment.

Upon loading the environment when I next open RH, most of the pods switch back over to the left-hand monitor, and are arranged haphazardly, with some stacked on top of each other. It seems that RH8 cannot remember my customized environment layout

In doing a search of the forums for possible solutions I found this thread, which seems to be similar, but I can't see that it was ever resolved.

Thanks in advance.

    As that thread highlighted, there are some issues with using RH with dual monitors. All you can do is submit a bug report to Adobe using the link in that thread. The more people that do so, the greater the chance that it will be fixed in a forthcoming release.
