#474 Maximisation on Dual Monitors not working correctly

[Anonymous]

OS: Windows 2000 SP 2
Dev-CPP Version : 4.9.9.1
Graphics: GF6800GT
Monitor 1: 1280x960
Monitor 2: 1152x864

Monitor 2 is on the left, monitor 1 is on the right.

When Dev-CPP loads it starts with a size just above
1152x864. Using the application on Monitor 2 works
correctly, maximising it works as expected and the
maximum size is indeed the maximum allowed by the
screen (Maximises like any other application).

On Monitor 1 however attempts to resize the application
when not maximised don't allow the size to go above the
starting size. Maximising the application only makes it
go to the top left of the screen, staying at the
maximum size of around 1152x864.

Attached are two images showing the behaviour. The
pictures include my Package manager just incase it is a
known issue with one of the packages. Note the images
are the complete screen so you will see both the left
and right monitor. I have got a maximum size
application and then the maximised Dev-CPP for you to
have a look at. Incidently Package Manager works
correctly and maximises properly on both monitors.

same behaviour at my machine

monitor 1: 1280x1024
monitor 2: 1024x768

when i start devcpp by double-clicking on a *.dev project
file from a window which resides on monitor 2, the maximised
devcpp window will not exceed 1024x768, even when the devcpp
window is moved to monitor 1.

Quick solution:

Turn off your smaller monitor (in windows display settings)
and run DevCpp. After switching your "extended" desktop on
again, you will be able to resize the DevCpp window to your
needs.

I think this bug is somewhere in the initialisation phase of
the application where it (obviously) fetches --the screen
size-- and prevents the application be resized beyond these
dimensions.
