[1.22] Button "Design Ship doesn't open "Ship Design"-Window

[golem87]

"GameEnvironment" = fresh update 1.14 -> 1.22

GameStart: 1900

Nation: Germany

StartOptions:

- Fleet Size = Medium

- Historical Resources = 0

- Research Rate = 100

- Varied Technologies = 0

- Harsher peace deals = 1

- AI advantage = 0

- Slow aircraft development = 1

- Max airbase size = 100

- Manual build = 1

- Save Slot = 1

Issue:

- "Design Fleet" button does not result in opening "Design Ship"-Window (does nothing)

What were you doing when the bug occurred?

- just starting a new game (with and without Admin permissions)

What did you expect to happen and how was the result you saw different than you expected.

- open "Design Ship"-Window, as before

Can you describe how to reproduce the bug?

- Start Game

- New Game

- Choose "1900"

- select "Germany" (other nations show same symptom, though)

- set above mentioned start options

- click "OK"

- confirm dialog "Build existing fleet!" -> "OK"

- click "Design Ship"

-> nothing happens

-> Window is not hidden -> already experienced that in older versions, does not apply here

-> Other Windows, like "Build Ships", "Almanac" or "Preferences" do open

- 1.22

This is very likely a multi-monitor issue...there is a quirk with the game engine wherein if multiple monitors are using different resolutions then sometimes new game windows will not open. The workaround is to either set all monitors to run at the same resolution, or use a single monitor when playing the game.

Please let me know if this is the issue in your case or not - if not then I will log it as a new issue.

Thanks for your reply!
Yes I have multiple monitors with different dimensions and resolutions.
I had no problems before my last update and I did not change my setup and I do not intent to do so in the near future...
Will there be a fix for that?

Thank you!
