When the Project Manager is docked (that is, dragged by the title bar to
the toolbar row of the Visual FoxPro desktop so that only the tabs of the
Project Manager are visible) and a tab is open, the mouse pointer does not
appear to function correctly if you use it to resize the Visual FoxPro
desktop. When the pointer is positioned at the right edge of the Visual
FoxPro desktop, it does not change into a "resizing" pointer.
CAUSE
The tabs of the Project Manager are really pop-up menus. When a pop-up
menu, such as the Data tab, is open, the mouse pointer does not change to a
resize pointer. This is true in other Windows applications as well. For
example, click on any menu in Microsoft Word, keep the menu in the open
state, and then try to resize the desktop window.
WORKAROUND
Click anywhere on either the Visual FoxPro desktop or the Windows desktop.
The pop-up menu closes, and you can use the mouse pointer to resize the
Visual FoxPro desktop. Usually it changes to the multi-headed resize
cursor, but if positioned exactly over the right border of the VFP desktop,
it remains an arrow that can resize the Desktop window.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
