Consoles sometimes lost

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Under some circumstances, one or more consoles can be lost. There is no way to view them. This seems to arise in two ways:

  1. If a console is dragged to a different screen from the main OpenCPN frame and OpenCPN is then restarted without that screen available, the console may be positioned on the no-longer-existent. display

  2. A console can get reduced to zero height and not display.§

** Workaround **

  1. Quit OCPN
  2. Open its .ini file and fine the JavaScript section.
  3. You can remove the console from the Console= list, which will delete the non-displaying console or fix the position and size to something reasonable
  4. Re-launch OpenCPN

Fixed in v2.1.6. Also recovers previously lost consoles.
V2.1.6 not yet available for Flatpak because of build problems.
