Preview pane takes too much screen area

Thu, 10/22/2009 - 15:06 — MileneCGM

Hi Paul,

every time I open Biblioscape the preview pane on the References module (at the bottom, in my case) takes most of the screen.
I reduce it to a small size, but when I close and open Biblioscape, the panel is large again. Biblioscape 7 "learned" the size of the preview pane I wanted, but version 8 doesn't.

Something similar happens when I open a reference. The task panel is always open on the right. Since I work with many reference windows at the same time, I would like to open the panel only when it is needed. Is that possible?

Thanks,
Milene

I have version 8 installed

I have version 8 installed and it doesn remember the preview panel size between sessions. If you change the Windows size of Biblioscape, is it remembered between sessions?

The window size of Biblioscape is remembered between sessions.
But the preview pane and the task pane always take most of the screen.
Every time I open Biblioscape I have to resize the preview pane.
Every time I open a reference I have to close the task pane.
Version 8 should remember their size and if they are closed or not, just as version 7 did.

Thanks,
Milene

No, same problem.
I've already had the last patch. I re-installed it again anyway, but nothing changed.

thanks

Can you show a screenshot? I cannot reproduce the bug. Since you have two monitors connected, this problem may be caused by that.

I'll send it.

I disconnected the external monitor and worked with the notebook alone. Even so, Biblioscape v. 8.04 still couldn't remember that I resized the preview pane.

I worked with version 7 with two monitors (same computer, monitors and configuration that I have today) and the old version didn't have any such problems.

Thanks
