Bill, Excellent point, but...
I can report that the behavior has also been observed directly—that is, similar code that does not close newly-created windows produces visibly maximized windows on my Mac and visibly unmaximized windows on Windows. Short of a video, I wasn’t sure how to report this authoritatively, so I resorted to the code below (which was tested on both platforms). To your point, it’s certainly possible that platform differences in treatment of async calls result in (apparently-) inappropriate behavior under Windows but (apparently-) appropriate behavior under Mac OS using my sample code. But they wouldn’t explain the observed differences in window behavior. I suggest that there’s still a problem somewhere. Thanks for the rapid response.
