Re-arm menu "locks up" DCS if moved offscreen

[Bailey]

If I click and drag the re-arm menu, it can be dragged off screen and out of sight. This effectively locks up dcs because I can't confirm a loadout, nor can I press escape to exit the re-arm menu that is off screen. This problem happens I play DCS on one of multiple screens. This problem also happens in fullscreen resolution as well as a smaller windowed resolution.

I've just tested it both on stable and open beta. Here's my feedback:

 

• The position of the re-arm window is reset everytime the game starts.
  
• Even when the re-arm window is stuck to the edge of my monitor, I'm still able to move it back to the center. I just couldn't reach the point of no-return. Did you?

I wasn't able to exit the game or even ALT+F4 it (yes, I do have the key combo is enabled).

Yes. It was at the point of no return.

I agree that when the re-arm window is displayed, you can only escape it by clicking on one of its "close" buttons. This means you don't want to lose this window, otherwise the game is stuck.

 

However, I wasn't able to lose the window. See for yourself:

Are you on a multi monitor setup? I think that's an important part.

[Flappie]

No, I'm not, but I was expecting to reproduce the issue on a single monitor. Maybe a multi-monitor only issue then. Can you film it?

Here you go. Center is center monitor. Left is left monitor, right is right monitor.

 

 

00:00 - Start DCS A10C Instant Action Takeoff - Caucasus

00:03 - Open "Mission Resources" menu via LALT+'

00:06 - Press and hold left mouse button

00:16 - Release left mouse button

00:18 - Press and hold left mouse button

00:23 - Release left mouse button

00:28 - Frantic use of left mouse button to attempt to find the menu

00:51 - Press escape approximately 3 times

00:53 - Press LALT+F4. The "Are you sure" box appears.

00:54 - Click Yes

00:56 - DCS exits. Video ends.

 

As you can see, ALT+F4 does work. I was wrong about that in my first post.

[Flappie]

Thanks. Now I can see. You have like two "black holes" in your multi-monitor configuration.

It does indeed look like a multi-monitor only issue.

For documentation purposes, I'd like to add that I am using the DCS default monitor.lua called 1camera or camera 1.
