One more time: the window gets truncated after the laptop is woken up from sleep.
Perhaps the window redraw function has a bug resulting in this truncation?

usually due to a video driver problem.

Re: Potato (generally: Voicemeeter & Matrix) window render issue

I did some more experimentation and have to amend my report above. It is NOT sleep. It is Hibernate that is problematic. I guess, the difference is that in sleep the contents of the video memory is retained, but not in hibernate. So, whatever the off-screen content is - it gets recreated (recalled from existing memory?) after sleep, but if the window must be completely recreated (after hibernate) - I can see this (interesting) behaviour: for other applications I purposefully made wider than desktop (emulation of how voicemeeter makes its window) when they are recreated after hibernate - they get resized to the dimensions of the desktop. Voicemeeter, however, is not (as it is "natively" wider than my desktop and cannot be resized). So, if this is a video driver's fault - how can I possibly rectify it and why don't I see the same in other apps on my system?

By the way: Matrix does exactly the same (and it has the same limitation on resizing, I bet).

Oh, and I have to add the following: Voicemeeter / Matrix do exercise similar behaviour when they are recreated - If I move the window off-screen to the LEFT (so that I see the right part all the way to the edge of app's window) and subsequently hibernate - upon wakeup the window's position comes back to origin, I noticed. That is to say: the top-left corner of app's window is placed at 0,0 of the desktop (so: top-left). Therefore it is (sadly) ALWAYS the right part of the window to "disappear" (no access to the MENU button for example - it isn't visible anymore).

However! When I minimize the window prior to hibernating the system - it looks as if it comes back as minimized after wakeup and expanding it to its normal size seems to behave as expected.

But wait! There's more: I believe the settings for the Kompressor (and possibly the Gate) are not restored after a wakeup from Hibernate, either. Shall I create a separate thread regarding this?
