Recently I stepped over a problem with the defined size of windows. My question is: Bug or feature? Our app defines several Windows. As long as the window size from the View is smaller than the screen thay are displayed on, everything works fine. But if the screen is smaller than the window, weird things happen. I detected that problem on a PB160. It has 640x400 pixels instead of 640x480 that the 13" monitor has. Most resizable windows did not show their horizontal scrollbar. It seems that the window is drawn smaller but the software still assumes its original size and thus the scrollbars and the drawing are out of synch. We resize most windows when they are opened through data from the document to a different size so we may define them in a smaller size. We use the information of the window size mainly for "ConstrainWindowSize" and are able to live with that problem. BUT: Is that weird behavior really a feature and do we have to define the windows to the smallest screen size we want to run on? Or is it a bug, that MacApp does not keep the Scroller and the Window in synch when the screen is too small? Christian Scholze ATOMIKA Analysetechnik GmbH Munich, Germany
