Maximum window size?

Post by wjb »

Hello,
New to this editor. Just downloaded textpad and testing. (v4.7.3). I like the similarities to the "IBM personal editor" I used years ago. (block mark)

When I open Textpad in a window larger then about 780 pix high, the text becomes corrupted when I scroll down. Could this be my video card, or the application?

I use a matrox g450 for dual monitors.

Thanks,
Bill

I run at 1600x1200 with no issues.

I think I found the problem.

My primary monitor (17") I run at 1024x768.
My secondary monitor (21") is at 1280 x 960.

It seems that when I place textpad on the secondary monitor and expand the window (or maximize) beyond the primary setting, the text gets corrupted on the scroll.

I switched to make my big monitor primary problem goes away. I can't leave my monitors that way because of another application.

Don't know of another work around except to get a bigger primary monitor.
