Border around program and source monitors

I was trying to set up Premiere like a layout in Resolve and realized that the one difference between this NLE and others (including Avid) is that there is a larger, more definitive border around the Program and Source monitors. This causes one window to begin shrinking long before the other completely fills its space.

It may be only an 1/8" or so on a 1900x1200 monitor, but I can tell you the effect is noticably smaller monitor areas on the main screen when editing.

Am I missing something? is there any way to change this in the program?

    OK, so you want to see this:

    Instead of this?

    I'm not sure that there is a way to control that in the way Premiere displays the monitors.

    It wouldn't let me edit the post. But I wanted to add that for the record I have submitted a bug report.

    Hmmm . . . even FCP-X goes for the zero bezel look:

    Yeah, that looks so normal (and professional.)

    I'd settle for the bigger images alone, but I figure if they can fix the lopsided sizes as well, that would be great.

    The bug report doesn't offer the option to upload images. But I'll hold on to these in case they want to see them.

    BTW, the first picture is from 2015.0.4, the second is 2017.0.1

    I guess the oversize border problem appeared in 2017. here are better screen captures from both illustrating the border problem, as well as the two videos being the same height.

    Can you post a screen shot that shows your issue? I'm not sure i understand what you are asking, in particular:

    You do have the monitors set to "Fit", correct?

    Yes they are set to "fit."  I'll attach a shot from my layout. This is as close as I can get these two windows without one resizing. They both have borders around them.

    The two links will take you to the other sites. There are shots there about 1/3 of the way down that shows how their two monitors only have a thin line between source and program (you'll have to look around for the editing screen shot.)

    BTW, it was different in Pr CS 5.5. I think it is the new design doing this.
