Hi folks,

One thing that has become a little annoying is that I am unable to drag the DevKinsta application from one screen to another. For some reason it appears like a modal - locked into place.

Anyone know why this is? Can it be moved? Just seems an odd decision to prevent this basic behaviour of all windowed applications.

(MacOS Catalina, DevKinsta v2.1.0.)

Cheers  
Paul.

Hi, I am running DevKinsta on my Macbook Pro for the first time. Actually, my Macbook is connected to two external displays. I noticed the DevKinsta window is stack to my Mac’s monitor and I can’t move it to any of the connected displays. Is this a bug or I am doing something wrong?

It’s possible to move the window by placing your mouse on the edge to get the resize handle and moving it in the opposite direction of the resize.  
For example, put your mouse at the top and instead of resizing it down/up, move the mouse left/right and the window moves instead.

Not yet I’m afraid @jamesgreenblue but the devs are indeed aware of the issue and will be providing a fix in the future.

Hi @jamesgreenblue 🙂 Did you see the workaround that @ZagnaH discovered?

It’s super easy and works with all apps on your Mac:
