In playing around with resizing the Legacy window again this afternoon, I noticed this strange behavior. I would click on one edge of the Legacy window and then attempt to drag that edge to a new larger window, for example changing from ¼ screen to ½ screen. But I would drag very slowly. After about 3 seconds of dragging and WITHOUT me releasing the mouse button, the Legacy window would automatically spring back to its previous position. It’s as if there is a time limit to resize the Legacy window. I did find a workaround for the springy resizing problem. For example, let’s assume that the Legacy window was approximately ¼ screen and I wanted to make it ½ screen, occupying the complete left half of the screen. After repositioning the window into the top left corner of the screen and then dragging the lower edge of the window down towards the bottom of the screen, this is where the spring-back to its previous position behavior starts. But if I only drag the lower edge down only about 1 or 2 inches and release instead of all the way down in one attempt, then things work normally. It may take 4 or 5 mouse drags to finally get the window to occupy the desired ½ screen. So not only is there a time limit for resizing but also a finite limit on the amount of resizing. Strange. I think I’ll check other applications to see if I can find a similar behavior.

I posted this back about March. You might try it. Microsoft in all their wisdom. created "Snap Assist" to auto arrange windows. Try adjusting your Windows from auto snapping your windows. If you don't like this just redo these steps. Windows 10 =To disable Snap Assist launch the Settings app from your Start Menu. From the Settings window, click System. Find & click Multitasking in the column on the left. Under the “Snap” category on the right set choices to Off. This will disable Snap Assist in Windows 10. Windows 7 = to stop window snapping. Open up your Control Panel, and then go to the Ease of Access center. From there, click on “Make the mouse easier to use”… And then remove the checkbox for “Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen”, and then click the Apply button to actually save the setting On Tue, Sep 27, 2016 at 1:20 PM, Elizabeth Lindsay <elizab...@nuytsia.net.au <mailto:elizab...@nuytsia.net.au> > wrote: I have Windows 10 and find this problem occurs intermittently with a number of programs/apps including Outlook, so for me it is not just a Legacy problem. To the lady who talked about using M8 Free Clipboard: would you mind explaining in more detail how you use the program for sourcing. I thought my system was working well, but now realize that I could do a lot better if I tried the clipboard.

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 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
