So far it just seems to happen randomly, and I've never been able to reliably reproduce the problem. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df22122-maximised-window-larger-than-the-available-space/?ID=db6f62c4-1d1a-409d-85a0-a8e5179b9604#3 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 17:35:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df22122-maximised-window-larger-than-the-available-space/?ID=db6f62c4-1d1a-409d-85a0-a8e5179b9604#3 DisplayFusion One thing I have noticed more frequently than anything else is that the "problem" of the overlapping window often appears after I've had the screensaver running for a while, for example when I come back after lunch, or first thing in the morning...

I have seen the taskbar overlapping issue before, but I have no idea what is causing it. I won't delay the 3.0 release for either of these issues, but I have them both on my list of things to investigate for version 3.1. Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df22122-maximised-window-larger-than-the-available-space/?ID=db6f62c4-1d1a-409d-85a0-a8e5179b9604 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 17:10:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df22122-maximised-window-larger-than-the-available-space/?ID=db6f62c4-1d1a-409d-85a0-a8e5179b9604 DisplayFusion This "problem" has been occurring on and off for a few versions, but each time I remember to post here a new version has already been released .

Finally though I've taken the time out to report it! The image should show what's happening, which is basically that every so often (and I haven't yet been able to figure out when or why) a maximised Visual Studio (2005) window ends up larger than the available screen space, and is slightly covered by the DF taskbar. The "problem" is easy to solve - just click on "About" and "Ok" in the DF taskbar and the window is correctly resized.

Another minor detail, which may or may not be related, is what happens when middle-clicking the titlebar of a maximised app to send it to the other monitor. On restoring the app (from fullscreen) the window size is 16 pixels wider and 16 pixels taller than the available display space. E.g on my 1600x1200 monitors with the Vista default taskbar visible the available display space is 1600x1170, however restored windows are resized to 1616x1186.

These are both very minor points and, since they don't seem to have been reported before, probably hardly affect anyone else. If a solution might cause the release of v3 to be delayed further then I'd say leave things exactly as they are and worry about them after v3 is released .

Regards!
