Pop-up menu exceed screen size

Dantiteis · 02-05-2022, 07:18 PM

By pressing the right-click on some identified project on the left space in MPLAB, the pop-up menu exceeds the screen size. I need to open the properties of the projects to set up Pickit properties which is the lowest option.

MPLAB is installed on Debian. I would think it needs a set-up that lets me control the display of the options in the pop-up menu, but I don't know how to do it. I have not found an answer to this trouble.

It is a screenshot of that pop-up menu in MPLAB.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HCC...nWXxbwncS/view

I need help with this.

PS: Forgive me the mistake in the title, I correct this over here, because it doesn't let me edit the original title: "Pop-up menu exceeds screen size - MPLAB"

I cannot see the screenshot because it requires javascript. Sorry.

What sort of popup are you talking about? Does it have its own window borders? If so, maximizing the window should help (somewhat counterintuitively).
If not, just use your arrow keys or hit the pointer to the bottom of the screen to see more.
If that doesn't help either I'd say the software is broken.
How much screen resolution do you have, which version of Debian, and what desktop environment?

Can you not scroll to the bottom of that long popup list perhaps with scrollwheel on mouse when pointing, or otherwise just use keyboard arrows, when you pass the bottom item does it not scroll for you? If not, perhaps you can find what you need from the drop down menus instead?

What is the size of your screen, could it be it is less than the recommended size?

Does what you want have a command line version?

Can you alter the screen size from the menu?

Thank you, that should(tm) just scroll down when you hit the bottom of it with the mouse.
If it doesn't the software needs to be fixed. 768px screen height isn't uncommon.
