Calibre "freezes"
See ==>>
If I click anywhere in the Preferences->Add your own columns window the Create a custom column window disappears and calibre freezes. I can get it back by going into another application, e.g. Firefox, and minimising it ![]() BR Last edited by BetterRed; 04-12-2023 at 01:20 AM. |

This will be because that dialog erroneously has the main window as its parent. It's chaley's code so hopefully he will see this and fix it.

I cannot get Calibre to free on the Add your own columns dialog.

If I exclude the "calibre - Preferences - Add your own columns" window from ATB the problem goes away. Initially, I tried excluding the "Create a custom column" window but that didn't have any effect. I'll let the ATB folks know, then they can do battle with Seattle ![]() Case ![]() BR FTR: Actual Title Buttons Last edited by BetterRed; 04-12-2023 at 05:32 AM. |

I've also had 4t tray Minimizer (which also adds a stay-on-top button) glitch and trap a Calibre window under another. (Thankfully exclusion worked for it.) Kind of a soft-lock; the program's still responding but you can't access it.

I clicked the wrong Cancel after taking a screenshot to post here. Given my ineptitude with the mouse I can't believe I haven't done that before. When chaley couldn't reproduce the problem, I tried Safe mode - no problem there; so, I knew it had to one of my add-ons - ATB was the obvious candidate. BR |

From what I remember, I was alt+tabbing around and one of the Job Spy (I think) dialogs managed to get trapped behind the main Calibre window. I either managed to get it back somehow or just kill Calibre, but adding it to the exception list and it hasn't happened since. |

I've also had it glitch dialogs/modal windows in another application. Unfortunately, excluding didn't work there. But fortunately, that program saves the window positions. so I just make sure it's sized so that the window isn't completely hidden and I can 'grab' it to pull it back up top.
I think Calibre also saves window positions so this might be a solution ![]() Last edited by ownedbycats; 04-12-2023 at 07:09 PM. |
