Thanks for the pointer - I've spent a lot of time fiddling around with
the settings of those two flags in !NetSurf.Resources.en.Templates.tree,
and so far as I can tell the only setting that can prevent the window
from resizing itself off the bottom of the screen is to have 'Keep on
screen' (bit 13) ON and 'Allow off screen' (bit 6) OFF. Which is rather
more stringent than actually desirable, because it then makes it
impossible for any part of that window ever to be outside the screen
ever, which is *not* normal Wimp behaviour, but it's the only
combination of flags that appears to produce the desired result of
jumping up to the top of the screen to use the maximum visible area when
the size is toggled.
I can only assume that the 'standard' RISC OS behaviour (as displayed by
NetSurf's main browser window for instance) of forcing the window
onscreen when the user requests a toggle to maximum size, but permitting
it to be dragged partially offscreen thereafter, requires some kind of
application redraw rather than being handled entirely by the WIMP?
