I have a feeling this *may* be hardware related, but even if not then
hopefully someone here may have some idea of its cause please.
I have an Iiyama Prolite E2403WS monitor, connected with the
recommended DVI input. Screen resolution is set to 1920 x 1200 to this
XP Pro PC. So I would expect that to be the maximum size of any
application window.
Yet when maximised with the maximise icon the left and top window
edges (for all applications) appear to disappear just beyond the
screen edges.
Going a little deeper... I have utilities which can set the size and
position of any window. If I use these and specify a 1920 X 1200
window at the position (0,0), that's what I get, and all edges are
visible. Capturing the window to an image editor confirms that size.
If I then click the maximise button, the window shifts upwards and
leftwards. Yet a capture to any image editor shows that its size
remains unchanged. However another tool I have reports the size in
this 'over-the-edge' state as 1928 x 1204, at position (-4,-4).
Although that tool (using commands in Macro Express) may of course be
buggy itself, I mention it as it might offer a further clue to the
experts.
Admittedly, this quirk is normally trivial and unobtrusive. But it
does become an issue when I'm trying to write macros that rely on
mouse clicks at exact pixel positions.
FWIW, I have a 512 MB nVIDIA GeoForce 8800GT.
