docking of Notes Window not possible

[atuctuc]

I use latest git vym (Version 2.9.31, Qt version 5.15.15. ) on ubuntu / wayland.

the note window is floating and i can't attache it to the main window. when i delete the config files, one time, i can detache it but can't attach it again.

Usually you can grab it at the top bar and move it around. When hovering aobve/below/besides of MapEditor widget you should be able to drop it back into the main window. Doesn't work?

i tryed everything, but this does not work on my ubuntu (wayland)

Hm, I am surprised that your floating NoteEditor does not have the control buttons in the upper right corner, see my screenshot. I am using KDE on openSUSE. This might be a window manager issue, as the WM controls where buttons are placed AFAIK.

Don't have an Ubuntu here, so cannot really test :-(

Do you see this effect every time you detach the NoteEditor? How do you detach?

Btw. no need to delete the whole config file, removing the "state" entry below [mainwindow] should do the trick.

If you are familiar with compiling, you could also try out the develop branch, which uses Qt 6.

Disclaimer:
vym 2.9.522 is pretty usable already, but old versions cannot read the new format At the moment sometimes crashes, which I cannot reliably reproduce yet :-(

i use sway, in sway, there are no control buttons in the upper right corner. thats ok.

i have to delete the config file, after that, i can move the NoteEditor window from one frame to another but if i put out, i can't put it back.

i tryed with the latest git version. Version 2.9.31 and Qt version 5.15.15.

maybe i should switch to qt6?

I am not sure if Qt6 really makes much of a difference here... Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the issue on all my systems. In the past I remember to have seen something like it, but not for a long time now. OTOH I am working with the development for most of the year already. I'd say give it a try, if you can. I probably also start building Ubuntu packages in the next few weeks in OBS.
