Hi David,

Looks like vfp ignores the message from the operating system regarding it's window being constrained by the size of the desktop.

Try this:

unmaximize vfp.
Now drag the vfp window by the menu bar all the way to the left edge of the screen. Now put the cursor on vfp's window's border and stretch it. You can go on forever.

Try the same with IE or any other "well-behaved" application.

Thanks for your help!

Alex
