off screen item examine window

[monaghan]

I have a recurring problem with examining items.
When i first examine an item it more often than not doesnt appear.

I believe this is due to it opening invis or more likely off-screen.

If I hit escape (closing the window) and examine another item (the examine box wont appear) then examine the first item again i can then see the window.

This is a especialy an issue when i try to examine chest loot as hitting escape often declines all loot.

I believe that the times I can view an item first time there may already be an offscreen/invis examine window open that i simply havent closed so it may be a default location issue (but i cant verify this).

I have the option checked to not display windows off-screen but it doesnt help. I have also moved all other (i.e chat and quest) windows about so i am sure the item windows are not obscured.

I am probably missing something obvious but any help would be appreciated.

I am using fetish nightfall interface but i dont think that is the issue...

I am having the same problem. I have a few pieces installed but none of the fetish mods.

i am getting desperate... has anyone any ideas at all to sort this out?

Try renaming or deleting your character's uisettings file. Base EQ2 directory, format server_character_uisettings.ini

You'll have to re-arrange all your windows again, but it should resolve this issue.

sorry it took so long to reply but this seemed to have done the trick thanks very much for your help

I believe the option "Don't allow windows offscreen" may also fix this.
It's under the in game options and user interface...
