JOSM crashes when I open Preferences

[Discostu36]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Open JOSM
2. Open Preferences

What is the expected result?

Preferences Window opens

What happens instead?

It does not open. I can't click anywhere, it always goes "bing". I have to kill the progam with task manager.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if possible.

I run JOSM with OpenWebStart

I renamed preferences.xml, now it works.

[taylor.smock]

I'd love to ask you to upload preferences.xml, but it may contain sensitive data like your OSM password or OSM OAuth 2 token. PLEASE DO NOT UPLOAD IT!

[taylor.smock]

If I had to make a guess, the window geometry is borked.
In the old preferences.xml file, what is the value of org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.preferences.PreferenceDialog.geometry? What happens if you delete that entry?

[Discostu36]

<tag key='org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.preferences.PreferenceDialog.geometry' value='x=-3231,y=-1404,width=800,height=800'/> 

I can check tomorrow what happens when I delete it.

[Discostu36]

Yes, deleting that line has fixed the problem, thank you.

I guess this has to do with my monitor setup having changed between starts. This should not lead to this situation. I don't know enough about desktop apps or Java to know what is possible, but maybe JOSM could save the display configuration and reset the window positions when it has been changed. Or somehow make sure that all windows are always visible on a monitor and not outside the visible area.

[stoecker]

The window was opened, but you haven't seen it.

There are some tutorials how to get such windows back into the visible area: ​https://www.wikihow.com/Bring-an-Off-Screen-Window-Back-on-Windows
