1617662 : Unusual performance of Maxwell PC through FstX4 connection¶

Created: 2026-07-16T09:37:13Z - current status: new¶

Summary: A user reports inability to reposition open application windows (such as images or Fiji) within the Maxwell desktop when connecting via FastX4.

Possible Solution / Next Step: Check whether the same limitation occurs when accessing Maxwell through the recommended browser-based interface at https://max-display.desy.de:3443/ (as noted in the known-problems section for DAWN/FastX incompatibilities). If the issue persists, consult the FastX4 documentation (maxwell/documentation/fastx4) for window-management settings or consider switching to the suggested display-node endpoint https://max-display.desy.de:3389/.
