Floating Menus are very time consuming to Position because of weird spontaneous behavior and needing to hit Save to view an update.

Bugs or Unexpected Behavior

Hi.

I don't know if this is a bug, my computer or memory issues, but the best way to describe the issue is to ask you to please watch this video. Perhaps you, the floating menu guru notice the same issue. The menu should first appear rather specifically some where in the top right., behind windows and in front on hover. I can position the menu eventually but that's not the issue here. It's long and tedious and constantly jumping around and not appearing.

See how long you last watching. Nothing new happens at the end, the same few glitches reoccur randomly.

To explain what I'm doing is grinding a keyboard shortcut to toggle display of the menu; Adjusting the position based on pixels from edge/percentage parameters, hitting ⌘ D a lot to force a 'reboot' of the menu position.

If all this is familiar to you happy answer Q's.

unfortunately your video didn't finish uploading, maybe try adding it again (I'm currently setting up floating menus for testing a lot, so I can hopefully help or quickly fix your issue in case it's something special)

Btw. you can also setup a dedicated shortcut for resetting menu positions without disabling and reenabling the menu:

I would recommend to enable this option only after you have finished the positioning setup (if you need it at all):

If this is enabled BTT will only update the position when some action explicitly requires it (e.g. cmd+d does or the reposition action does)

Which version of BTT are you currently using?
