The full size window is not the problem (just click the gadget in the upper right corner). But try making your Legacy window take up only the left half of your monitor screen. Click the gadget in the upper right of a full size Legacy window (if you hold your mouse over the gadget which looks like 2 sheets of paper it will read out as “Restore Down”). Now, regardless of what size Legacy automatically resized down to, try to change that size by moving the mouse on an edge of the Legacy window until the cursor changes to a double ended arrow and then click and hold down the mouse button dragging that edge to somewhere you want for the resized window. Release the mouse button and you expect the newly resized window to remain there but the chances are that it will spring back to where it was before. It may take 3 or 4 attempts until it sticks.
Try that same resizing movement on the windows of other applications and you may notice that they tend to stick when the mouse is released without springing back to its previous position. As I said before, it’s not a critical error…just annoying for those users that want a custom size window from time to time.

I typically use a split screen mode with Legacy taking up ½ and a browser window on the other half. But whenever I have to resize the Legacy window, it takes several mouse attempts with it just springing back to its original size. In other words, the resizing attempt does not stick until the 3rd or 4th attempt. Certainly not life threatening but merely annoying. Legacy is the only application that exhibits this behavior. It has nothing to do with Windows 10.

I've noticed when resizing Legacy with the mouse on the edge if I hold the mouse button down after I stop sliding up or down it jumps back to the original size. I have to release the button as soon as I stop sliding the mouse. I just checked my laptop and it resizes OK. I can resize and hold the button and it stays there. Both are Win 10. The desktop computer resizes other programs fine, Only Legacy exhibits this problem.

There is a time delay and the passage from one level to the other goes by step. It is the same thing with both v8 and v9. There seems to be a sort of incompatibility between Windows 10 and Legacy. Am I the only one to see this problem? Georges
