As someone has said before, the trick seems to be to release the mouse
button as soon as you reach the size you want. And that really means
immediately! Any pause, and the window reverts to its original size.
Hope this helps.

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 use Legacy 8 on my 19" monitor full size, and my browser fll size on
my main 21" monitor. Running on Win10. :D.

I recall that annoyance with resizing the Legacy window as having been
around since at least Legacy version 7. 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 3^rd or
4^th 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.

Under Windows 10, when ones tries to go to a smaller window, the
process is not fluid as it is with other programs.
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?
