Newly Added Channel Card Renders Off-Screen #13

@DevRanger

Description

@DevRanger

When adding a new channel, the newly created channel card often renders off-screen instead of appearing in a visible, centered, or otherwise reasonable default position within the workspace.

Observed Behavior:

  • New channel cards frequently render outside the visible window.
  • The channel appears to be “missing” until the application window is resized.
  • The only reliable way to recover the channel is to:
    • Resize the window to an unusual or extreme size until the card becomes visible, then
    • Manually drag the card back into the desired position.

Expected Behavior:

  • Newly added channel cards should render within the visible window, and at a predictable default location (e.g., centered, or offset from existing cards).

Impact:

  • Creates confusion, as it appears the channel failed to add.
  • Makes channel management unnecessarily difficult, especially on multi-monitor or non-standard window layouts.

Suggestion:

  • Clamp initial card position to the current window bounds.
  • Default new channel placement to a known-safe position (center or grid-aligned).
