Circuit Studio Sucks at Windows
« on: January 14, 2026, 06:05:32 pm »
Circuit Studio has problems that I have not experienced with any other app.

Some pop-ups open in the wrong place.  Ex, export STEP options window opens with top above the top of my screen.  If I didn't know hotkeys, I don't think I'd be able to access the top 2 options.

When I open CS, it opens on my laptop screen.  Everything else opens on one of my 2 external monitors.

Yep, I remember reporting similar issues during the beta trial years ago.

I think it'd be an easy fix.  It seems everyone else has figured it out.

It has been abandoned product for years now...

The thread below started in February 2020

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/circuit-studio/circuit-studio-dead-(again!)/

And it starts with:
It seems it hasn't been updated in years now.

So I'll assume it's been abandoned for 8 to 10 years now.
Does not seem t make much sense to complain about that abandonware.

Doesn't seem to make sense to complain about my post.

I'm still using it and that bug still bothers me.  More importantly, it may still be offered for sale and people ocassionally ask if they should use it.

So yes, it makes sense to share the bugs.
