Size problem with Vista Aero

Post by **DPlotAdmin** » Fri Jul 18, 2008 2:23 pm

I've just noticed today what I think is a new problem with DPlot after a Windows update last night, but I'd like to get confirmation from anybody else using Aero. On my system when the application window is maximized and a child document is maximized, the child doesn't fill the entire client area. It's about 20 pixels short on the right side of the window, showing a non-functional sizing border, then 10 or so pixels of the gray client area on the far right.

This doesn't happen (for me) with "Vista Basic" as opposed to Aero, nor does it happen on any other version of Windows.

Is this an old problem that I've been blind to? Or did the update genie foul up?

A: The update genie fouled up. Using System Restore to get back to 7/17's version of Windows has mostly fixed the problem. There's still an unwanted 4 pixel border on the right side of a maximized child window when DPlot is maximized, but it's quite a bit better than the 16 (not 20 as I first guessed) pixels short that the window was on 7/18. And I've since tried several more MDI applications that all have the same behavior, and only on Aero. That doesn't mean I don't care about fixing this, but at least I can stop staring at the DPlot source trying to find a non-existant problem.

Fixed in version 2.2. Weird problem that, after a bit of digging, I've discovered exists on all standard MDI (multiple document interface) programs with Vista Aero. In any case I got my 4 pixels back.
