Problems with "Restore Down" on Textpad window

I've been using TP for a while with no problems but the other day I started not being able to run it other than as a full-screen window. When I double click the title bar or click the "restore down" button, TP collapses (kind of Mac-style) to just the title bar, no content window visible.

I have uninstalled and re-installed and no good. It could be coincidence but this started happening after latest Firefox update (to 2.0.0.9).

Anyone else having this problem?[/url]

Which version of TextPad are you using?

Please try deleting the file config.xml, which you will find at the following location, and then try starting up TextPad. Exit from TextPad before deleting the file.

C:\Documents and Settings\User name\Application Data\Helios\TextPad\5.0

I hope this helps.

No good. Can I tweak the XML file at all - Layout/Dockstate etc looks like it might be relevant....

Please try renaming or deleting the following Key in the Registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Helios\TextPad 5\Window Placement

Make sure all instances of TextPad are closed before renaming the key.
