This bug has been annoying me for a very long time, and I finally found its source.The bug is this:You do your coding, hit ctrl-z to undo, and the FP pops to the front and is resized. A more detailed (and whiny) description can be found here.After having this happen many times in a recent VI, I realized this almost certainly always happened after running the VI. I deleted all the code to see if this still happens and sure enough, it did. So I said, what else could it be, and the answer, of course, the VI settings. Some more playing around and it became clear what the source was. So, here's a step by step description:1. Create an empty VI and place something in it.2. Uncheck "Show menu bar" and "Show toolbar when running" from Window Appearance. Each of them unchecked individually seems to cause the problem only halfway through. Unchecking "Allow user to resize window" seems to create a different sort of effect, where the pixels on the right side of the screen (I think last 2 columns) seem to disappear (and you can see the window beneath), but that isn't necessary for the bug.3. Run the VI.4. Make a change in the VI (move the control or terminal or change a value).5. Undo (From the menu or ctrl-z).6. The FP should come to the front and be resized so that its title bar is out of screen. Clicking (not even moving the mouse) on a resizing handle (e.g. the window's corner) causes the title bar to jump back into the screen.This seems to happen only when the FP is maximized and only the first time you undo after running.I tested this in 7.0 and 7.1 in XP, and I saw that it doesn't happen in 6.1, so I estimate this is a LV problem and not windows.

The incredible resizing window bug

Haha, yeah, this one was pretty odd. Unfortunately the "streak" must end for tonight - sleep finally bubbled to the top of the priority list. We'll see what I can churn out tomorrow .

Glad I could help,
