Cannot ajust the size on GPlan window

[Emile]

Hello,
The "-", maximize and "x" do not work so the Gplan window is smaller than my monitor size.

Works OK for me. Did you try BOTH Vista and XP?

Thanks for the report. I'll put a constraint in 364 that prevents the window from being bigger than the Windows work area.

Jeff, you'll need to have a screen size that's smaller than 1200 wide or 780 high to see the problem. And while that's pretty much the smallest size screen you can buy these days, there are still smaller ones out there

Hello,
I "fly" XP SP3 in 1152x864x32 resolution.

Hello,
I just found that these options work when the GPlan window is on the main monitor BUT if you "drag" it to a secondary monitor the options do not work.
Hope it helps

Thank you. We've had a number of reports from people having problems with the window controls on a second monitor. As yet we have not established a solution for the problem (for one thing, I cannot make it happen on my PC! -- Windows 7 + 7950GTXgo)

Completely wild thought here, your min/max/close icons are different to the ones used by MS in office which does work on my PC where Plan-G fails. Are there multiple ways to create the title bar (or whatever it's technically called?)

PS. Plan-G is front window with focus, Word is the rear window

We have actually figured out what this problem is, and it's bizarre but solvable: The problem only happens on a second monitor, and it only happens when the second monitor is on the left!

The solution is to go into the Windows Display control panel and swap the monitors around, so that the secondary display is on the right.
Of course that means your screens will now be backwards, so you'll also need to swap around the cables on the graphics card.

This issue has been reported to Microsoft.

Oh how strange is that, thanks for the update :)

And yes mine is on the left too.

I did find another solution, I also had this problem.

I swopped my cables as connected to the PC, which meant that my booting happened on the smaller monitor on the left (used for Plan-G) rather than the large monitor used for FSX. This also works, but you have to be prepared to re-arrange your icons.
