Resizing Java W

Bug Reports

Describe the bug
Resizing a java app window to top left (etc.) only moves the window, doesn't resize it. Eg. I have keyboard shortcuts setup to move applications to 4 sections of the screen (TL, TR, BL, BR). This works for all apps, except the interactive brokers trading app written in Java. This app only moves left or right but doesn't resize when the hotkeys are pressed.

Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):
Keyboard shortcut.

Device information:

  • Type of Mac: MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019), 2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9, 64GB ram
  • macOS version: 12.6.7 (21G651)
  • BetterTouchTool version: (please post the exact version - not just "the latest one") 4.403

Additional information (e.g. crash logs, related issues, etc.):

unfortunately that's something out of BTT's control. If an app doesn't respond correctly to the resizing requests there is nothing BTT can do.

So most likely you'll need to request proper support for window resizing events via the accessibility API from the author of that Java app ;-( For native apps this is automatically included, but for Java apps the authors need to make sure to support the macOS accessibility api.
