BUG: Macintosh 1000x1000 WINDOW Snaps Back to Smaller Size (65939)

This article was previously published under Q65939

SYMPTOMS

When you increase the size of a 1000x1000 window in QuickBasic using the grow box, the window will snap back to a size smaller than 1000x1000. This problem applies only to a two-monitor system where QuickBasic's WINDOW statement can cause a window to be 1000x1000 pixels.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug with Macintosh QuickBasic versions 1.00 and 1.00a for the Macintosh system. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

Trying to increase the window to greater than 1000x1000 will not work as a solution; the window will snap back to approximately 984x999. This was tested on a two-monitor system, so a 1000x1000 window could be displayed.

Sample Code

   WINDOW 1, "Large Window", (1,1)-(1000,1000),1
   WHILE MOUSE(0)<> 1:WEND
   END
