From Steve Kirks.

If you're working in the ODB and make changes to a
script, be concious of the window's size and position.
On my iBook, the best I can manage is 1024x768. Had
it not been for a second monitor using an unsupported
hack, I never would have been able to move the window
so I could see the titlebar and the chicklet to zoom it
to a smaller size.

    IIRC the window positions are set on the way back in from
    the Frontier version control file, via cvsSync.

    I'll check this out when I assemble the next preview release.

    I tried cranking down my screen rez to 1024x768 and then
    opened up some scripts from a fresh virgin database and
    didn't have a prolem.

    Steve, could you please give me a step by step. Is it all
    windows? Or just some specfic windows?

    For the most part the windows should be picking up their
    size information on the fly as I've not assigned them any
    position or size. Which seems to be the case as when I
    downed my rez, the windows started opening in an apporpiate
    position for the reduced rez.

    Idea. Could it be because you have two monitors attached
    that the window placement code is getting fouled up? Please
    try with only one monitor attached and let me know what you
    find.

    In my testing in prep to get a developer release out the
    door, I've not noticed any windows off screen and inaccessable.

    I've even gone down to 640x480!
