Restoring from minimize usually resizes window

Sunday, February 27, 2005 by MagGyver | Discussion: WindowFX

I love to use WindowFX but have noticed a peculiar behavior which occurs most of the time. When I've minimized a window (and am using the minimize effects) and then click to restore it, after the effect occurs the window will resize itself to a very small window, too small to see anything except the title bar and a bit more. I can then drag the corner to resize it to a desirable size. This happens frequently and in many different programs. If I excluded all the applications which do this, I would effectively be turning WindowFX off, so I'm more interested in knowing whether this is a known issue and if there's a fix being planned.

I have WinXP SP2, 1GB RAM, ATI All-in-Wonder X600 Pro PCI-E graphics card w/256MB RAM. Thanks!

I am experiencing exactly the same.
Also When I heve WindowsFX running, and I am using Oracle discoverer, the "edit sheet" command goes aplha blend. The first time I open the edit sheet, it is still workable, however when opening for a second time, the alpha blend makes screen almost invisible. Every time opening edit makes it more invisible, th fourth time it looks like the edit screen is no more appearing...

In response the original poster: my windows do exactly the same. Have responded in another identical thread too. I'm running Win2K at SP4.

This problem needs looking at.
