Everything 1.5 Alpha – Main window shrinks to tiny unclickable size, spawns extra instances

Post by raldisk »

I’m running into a problem with Everything 1.5 Alpha Version 1.5.0.1396a (x64) where my main instance (with around 216 tabs) becomes unusable when I reopen it. The main window does show up, but it shrinks to a very tiny size (as shown in the screenshot) and cannot be clicked or resized. After this happens, Everything spawns two new instances that work normally, but the original main instance stays stuck in this tiny window state. The taskbar icon is still visible, but the window itself cannot be interacted with, and none of my tabs can be accessed.

Does F11 do anything with that initial window?


In your Profile Folder, Session.json, has sizing settings.

Something like:

Code: Select all

		"is_closed":0,
		"window_x":436,
		"window_y":95,
		"window_wide":881,
		"window_high":650,
		"maximized":0,
		"ontop":0,
Maybe you've got something funky going on in there?
Like:

Code: Select all

		"window_wide":42,
		"window_high":42,
If so, you might try manually changing those values (with Everything closed).
(Backup first. And better yet, copy that Session.json & test is in a separate Instance.)

Thank you for the issue report.

Sounds like something is breaking the session json formatting.

Could you please upload your session.json and session.backup.json in a bug report.
