Bug Report: Break Window Does Not Resize Correctly When Disconnecting Monitor During Break

As a user of the application, I have encountered a frustrating issue that affects the usability of the break window feature. When disconnecting a monitor during a break, the break window does not resize correctly, resulting in an oversized window that takes up the entire primary monitor. This issue is particularly problematic when using multiple monitors with different resolutions. In this bug report, I will outline the steps to reproduce the issue, the expected behavior, and the actual behavior observed.

To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

Enable Windowed Mode: Ensure that the application is running in windowed mode. Although I have not tested this issue in fullscreen mode, I suspect that it may not occur in this scenario.
Show Breaks on All Monitors: Enable the option to show breaks on all monitors. This will allow the break window to appear on both the primary and secondary monitors.
Connect Secondary Monitor: Connect a secondary monitor with a higher resolution than the primary monitor.
Start Break: Begin a break session, and the break window will appear on both monitors.
Disconnect Secondary Monitor: During the break, disconnect the secondary monitor.
Observe Break Window: Observe the break window on the primary monitor. It should be larger than usual and may exceed 100% of the primary monitor's width/height, depending on the secondary monitor's resolution.

The expected behavior is that the primary monitor should not inherit the window from the secondary monitor. Instead, it should maintain the original window size that was present on the primary monitor before the break. This would prevent the break window from becoming oversized and taking up the entire primary monitor.

Unfortunately, the actual behavior observed is that the break window becomes oversized and takes up the entire primary monitor. This is not only frustrating but also makes it difficult to use the application effectively.

There is no relevant log output to provide, as this issue does not produce any error messages or logs.

There are no relevant preferences to share, as this issue is not related to any specific settings or configurations.

I am writing this bug report in a hurry and will attach some screenshots later to provide further evidence of this issue.

I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct and will ensure that my bug report is respectful and constructive.

In conclusion, the break window does not resize correctly when disconnecting a monitor during a break. This issue affects the usability of the break window feature and can be reproduced by following the steps outlined above. I hope that this bug report will help to identify and resolve this issue, and I look forward to seeing the necessary changes implemented in future updates.

This issue reproduces 100% of the time, making it a critical problem that needs to be addressed.

I am using Windows 10 22H2 as my operating system, and I have verified that this issue occurs on this version.

I am using version 1.17.2 of the application, and I have checked the known issues and existing issues sections to ensure that this issue is not already reported.

I have checked the advanced preferences section to ensure that there are no relevant settings or configurations that may be contributing to this issue.
Q&A: Break Window Does Not Resize Correctly When Disconnecting Monitor During Break

In our previous article, we reported a bug where the break window does not resize correctly when disconnecting a monitor during a break. In this Q&A article, we will address some of the frequently asked questions related to this issue.

A: The expected behavior is that the primary monitor should not inherit the window from the secondary monitor. Instead, it should maintain the original window size that was present on the primary monitor before the break.

A: Unfortunately, the actual behavior observed is that the break window becomes oversized and takes up the entire primary monitor. This is not only frustrating but also makes it difficult to use the application effectively.

A: This issue reproduces 100% of the time, making it a critical problem that needs to be addressed.

A: I am using Windows 10 22H2 as my operating system, and I have verified that this issue occurs on this version.

A: I am using version 1.17.2 of the application, and I have checked the known issues and existing issues sections to ensure that this issue is not already reported.

A: Yes, I have checked the advanced preferences section to ensure that there are no relevant settings or configurations that may be contributing to this issue.

A: To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

Enable windowed mode.
Show breaks on all monitors.
Connect a secondary monitor with a higher resolution than the primary monitor.
Start a break session, and the break window will appear on both monitors.
Disconnect the secondary monitor during the break.
Observe the break window on the primary monitor.

A: This issue affects the usability of the break window feature, making it difficult to use the application effectively. The oversized break window takes up the entire primary monitor, making it challenging to access other features and functions.

A: To resolve this issue, the application developers need to modify the code to ensure that the break window resizes correctly when disconnecting a monitor during a break. This may involve updating the window management logic to handle monitor disconnections more effectively.

A: The next step is to report this issue to the application developers and provide them with the necessary information to reproduce and fix the issue. This includes providing screenshots, log files, and other relevant data to help them understand the problem and develop a solution.
