Make a way to move the detached markup list or pdf tab when it goes off screen

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Fairly regularly when I detach the markups list, or drag a pdf tab to another screen the window gets stuck off screen enough that I can't move or resize it. It is very frustrating and difficult to fix; usually have to restart bluebeam, and even then it tends to remember the last position and put it back. These child windows don't show up in the windows tray or windows+tab navigator and can't be fixed that way.

Do you use multiple displays? If so, it could be an issue of the interaction there. I often have to disconnect my additional monitors and then do the software restart. It's NOT a good way to get the job done, but at least it allows me to move on with my day. Before I figured out that solution I would be dead in the water until I restarted my PC and get a fresh boot.

I have this problem too but I can just see the top of my detached window at the bottom of my screen, so I can grab it and move it to my other screen. The fact that it shrinks to the smallest possible size and blends in with the bottom of my main window didn't help the first time it happened. It's much better now.

What version of Revu are you using? It might be "fixed" in a more recent version if you're using an older build.

This happens to me from time to time. If you can drag any portion of the window and resize it manually, the top bar that allows you to move the window will pop down and give you full control of moving the PDF again. I'm not sure if this will work for you since you don't have any resize options.

yes, this is typically a multiple monitor issue.

Bullet points & Indent text

Auto Save
It would be helpful to have an autosave function for PDFs being used in Revu. Currently this does not exist and would be very beneficial.
Numbered Lists and Bulleted List

Alert attendee log
It would be great be able to see to whom and when the "alert attendee" has been done. Today you can see exactly who and when markups has been accepted but there are no info at all if a markup has been alerted to someone.
Keyboard Shortcuts for Assigning Statuses
It would be a huge time saver to have keyboard shortcuts for assigning markup statuses. Numerous workflows (e.g. QA/QC and design reviews, punch/back-check) involve multiple status changes for markups, and often times there are multiple statuses (or state models) to choose from. On large projects, with 100's if not 1,000's…
