Probably been reported before, but we’re having serious issues with screens being resized when a popup is dragged such that part of the popup is off the screen. It is as if the lower edge of the popup streches out the main window size making all screens distort to fit.

This has always been a feature of Ignition so sections of windows are not cut off. Are you suggesting that we should be doing something different like forcing popups in the bounds of the client? What if the popup is too large?

I’m having this issue, has anyone found a solution to stop this from happening?

Thanks
