Revmenubar appearing at bottom of screen

Afternoon All
I hope that everyone is well.
When opening Livecode my menubar has started appearing at the bottom of the screen rather than at the top... (this is then causing issues as it doesn't allow my mouse to click on my project until I manually move the menubar back to the top of the screen using
Code: Select all
on mouseup
set the loc of stack "revmenubar" to "510,45"
end mouseup
Has anyone got any ideas how to change this?
(NB: I suspect this has started occurring following using multiple screens)
(NB: I have already re-downloaded and installed the version of Livecode)
(Nb: I am using a Mac)
Many Thanks
Hadleigh

Odd.
I deploy multiple versions of LiveCode on a 2018 Mac Mini running MacOS 11.3 Beta 3 with
3 monitors and LC always starts on my central monitor
with the MenuBar stack at the top of the screen.
Try this:
Move the MenuBar stack to the top, and then, in the Message Box type
"save revMenuBar"
you never know, that might just work.

No real clue, only guessing, and no experience of the Mac environment to make a legitimate suggestion, but what if you delete the preferences stack and then move things where they are supposed to be, then close and reopen LiveCode?
I believe IDE stack positions have entries in the preferences stack, so this may clear undesired ghost positioning. Dunno?

Hi Sparkout
Thank you very much.
Where would I find the preferences, I can find 'revpreferencesgui.rev' but not a 'preferences' file.
Many Thanks

Hi.
Sparkout is likely on to something.
I use two monitors, and had to carefully adjust the relationship among LC windows on each, since I keep the SE on one exclusively and everything else on the other. I am constantly resetting my "default" locs,within sessions depending on what else outside of LC I am doing, even after trashing preferences.
But definitely try that first; my setup may have its own peccadilloes.
