Description Gabor Nagypal 2002-01-30 16:41:41 UTC 
When help window is open and its size is big enough to make resizing necessary every modal window 
displays wrong. Part of the window is hidden by the taskbar. (Screenshot is attached.) This part 
usually the part which contains the buttons which makes it necessary to manually resizing or 
moving the modal window at each operation. It is really embarassing.
Possible cause: the 
algorithm which calculates the new size of the help window and the position of the model window 
does not take into account the size (and status) of the taskbar, only the physiscal screen size (in 
my case 1280x1024)

Comment 2 Gabor Nagypal 2002-01-30 16:47:11 UTC 
When I switch off the "Always on top" property of the taskbar, or switch on the "Auto 
hide" feature, the problem naturally does not exists. But I prefer to use fix taskbar 
under Windows.
