I'm one of the few folks using TB on a three monitor system. If I close the message finder when it is maximized on my TB screen, the next time I try to open it all I see is flash of the window opening correctly, followed by a thin, vertical gray (window edge color) bar along the edge of the screen and the message finder button appearing on a DIFFERENT screen's task bar.
Picking "restore" from the finder's window menu allows me to see and use it. I can further work around this by always remembering that one can never, ever close any of TB's windows when they are maximized without bad things happening next time the windows are accessed. Maybe, if the bug is not ever going to be fixed, RIT could add an option to disable the maximize buttons and commands instead... Extra info: my displays are numbered 3, 2, 1 (in the physical layout) and #2 is my primary display. The primary display is the one with 0,0 at the upper left corner, for those who don't know. I run TB on the left hand monitor (#3), stretched to fill the screen (BUT NOT MAXIMIZED because that bug hasn't been fixed in the years since it was reported and confirmed). The "gray bar" that I see is located where the colons (:) are in the "image" below (use a fixed width font), right on the very edge, of, but not visible on, the primary monitor (#2): +-----+-----+-----+ | :| | | | 3 :| 2 | 1 | | :| | | +-----+-----+-----+ Apparently, the unfixed bug with maximized windows on non-primary displays has been extended to include the Message Finder window. Not sure how long this has been true, but I suspect it will last until RIT gets their display library fixed or chooses a different one. -- Steven Vallière | tb 3.99.10 | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- "If you didn't write it down, then it didn't happen." -Larry Zana ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.99.13 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
