Gmoccapy Tab not displayed was created by nf1z
I'm at a bit of a loss where to start looking at this.
I am migrating to a new PC for my mill while upgrading to 2.9.0pre LinuxCNC. Mostly painless on the software side, but I cannot get a gmoccapy tab to load. Here is a description of the system as it was, which includes a screen shot showing the Spindle Monitor tab in (over?) the Preview section of the screen:
forum.linuxcnc.org/show-your-stuff/41282...-spindle-pendant-etc
What I am seeing now is just the plain un-tabbed preview window. My .ini [DISPLAY] section is just the same as it was:
All the associated HAL files are also unchanged. The other two EMBED_TABs are fine. The spindle driver python script is working fine, and all the output pins are correct. If I set EMBED_TAB_LOCATION to other values (box_right, ntb_user_tabs,..), these work as expected.
I tried running linuxcnc with -d, and gladevcp with -d, but nothing leaps out, except maybe this?
My problem is I don't know how to proceed. If anyone knows the cause, or can suggest a way to proceed, I'm all ears.

Not 100% sure what the problem is, but I would start by cleaning up the "DOS-style line endings" warnings in the 2 HAL files listed.
Gmoccapy HAL connections should all be in your gmoccapy_postgui.hal file.
Otherwise, try to attach the full output.

Thanks for the reply, but it turns out I'm an idiot. The tabs on the Preview window are there but not visible if the screen is too small; if you enlarge the window, either using the button provided to enlarge the preview area, or expand the screen to the right, or go full screen, the tabs slide into view from the left. This applies also to the tool offset window, which is tabbed onto the preview area. I don't remember doing anything to make this happen, so I assume it is a design feature of gmoccapy. Perhaps a result of adding my tabs?
I wonder if there is a simple way to make the tabs always visible, perhaps by moving them to the right side of the preview section, or making the preview area left-justified? Makes more sense to me.

(Though it is probably inbuilt behaviour of the GUI framework rather than deliberate behaviour.)

I think this is probably a bug in Gmoccapy rather than a feature. I have noticed the same thing trying to get the lathe macros to work.the tabs slide into view from the left. This applies also to the tool offset window, which is tabbed onto the preview area. I don't remember doing anything to make this happen, so I assume it is a design feature of gmoccapy.
