New windows management problem, new thread, rather than mix it in with the other windows issues.

But, I'm seeing a trend. On this dual monitor machine Wealth-Lab seems unable to provide consistent window management.

Latest problem: Updating data in Data Manager.

I start with WL sized to about 3/4 of the screen, on completion with one data provider (?Fidelity Analyst Ratings?) suddenly the WL main window is resized to maximum without user interaction.

I was working in the unused part of the window. This is highly disruptive.

My earlier complaints about window management are back. The most frequent problem is, that somehow WL restores windows sizes to oversize! More than the monitor has to offer! Windows extend to the second monitor. I try to keep WL main window on one monitor, and as many as possible of the smaller WL windows on the other monitor. What I would expect from WL is, that it tracks screen position and size of each pane, saves them into a configuration file, when a window is closed, and restores these same settings, when the window is reopened.

Is this expectation unreasonable?


The following windows routinely, but not reliably, open to a size larger than a single screen, even after having been shrunk to more appropriate size before closing:

Technical Indicators, Open Strategy, Extension Manager, Preferences.


I would really like to see a fix for these problems.

A pointer to the old discussion thread:

Issues with dual monitors on Windows 7

Not sure how would jumping back and forth between different threads help us in troubeshooting the same issue so I copied your reply to the old thread and replied there.
