How to prevent 'Find Resuts' and similar windows from moving/autoresizing?

A large annoyance I have in LabWindows is that the 'Find Results' and 'Build Errors' move themselves and resize whenever items are selected.  For example, if I double-click or right-click-select-goto-item, they always resize themselves to 3-4 lines high and shove themselves under the code window they relate to.  When searching and I have dozens of results up and attempt to navigate through my code, it is maddening to constantly have to resize the window.

 

However, very occasionally, this breaks and I can freely take my 'Find' or 'Errors' window away and have it lose its automove/resize "feature".  But I have no idea how I did it, let alone how to repeat it, any thoughts?

 

What's worse is when I have some windows released (Window >> Release Window), when selecting items in the 'Find' list, it hides the box behind the IDE, and I must resize the IDE to be able to find it again.

 

I have two monitors side-by-side so the insistance of LabWindows for me to work with everything top-to-bottom vertical is fustrating.

Which version of CVI are you using? If this is the issue I'm thinking of, it should have been fixed in CVI 8.5 (bug # 489AR8ZW). Let me know if you're using 8.5.x or 9.0 and are still seeing this problem.

 

This thread describes the problem I'm thinking of (it has a different bug ID from the one I typed above because it was reported in duplicate).

8.1. Is there a patch for it or would I need to purchase an upgrade to 8.5?

Unfortunately, there's no patch for this. You do need to upgrade.
