I don't really think that it's a SP3 bug. I guess what it is, is that I don't really use the maximize button to change the size of the edit window. I just drag the edges to be the size I want it to be. It seems to keep the size OK that way. I seem to remember that was always the way it worked, even in FPW, that a maximized .PRG window (with the maximize button) did not retain it's size. Still seems to work that way in VFP6/SP3. I've gotten so used to doing it that way (dragging) automatically, I just don't think about it anymore!
