Size of edit window

I was replying to a post and noted the edit window scrolling left to right. I checked my screen resolution and noted that my children had lowered it to 1024x768 from my usual 1280x1024.

Why doesn't the edit window scale itself to the screen resolution? Either that or make it less wide to accomodate the not so small size of 1024x768 for those users whose eyes are not what they used to be.

Does this happen to anyone else, or am I alone in my experience?

Do you have loaded the stylish item to allow the size of the screen Float?

If not, add that fix and it will float to the size of the available screen width. see the illustrations posted previous to this reply.

PJ,

I am not referring to the up/down scrolling of the window, that's a standard in web pages. A properly designed web page would scale itself to the most common screen (read: lowest common denominator) resolution size, which these days is (please, someone correct me if I am wrong) 1024x768. 800x600 used to be the smaller size, but I believe 1024x768 has displaced it.

I had never noticed the "grabber triangle", but have tried it now. It only adjusts the *height* of the window, not the width.

With regards to adding Stylish to adjust the size of my screen float, I will flatly refuse to even consider that. I am not going to add plugins simply to view this website. It's a stand I took back in April and I continue to hold firm. If the page is designed properly, I should not have to resort to the plugins. Other sites don't require me to do this for basic functionality, this site is not going to push me into it.

We all accept that... but, as 'Moderators' you could:

1/ Raise your voices and complain to Adobe about the situation

Done that.

2/ Resign / threaten to resign your moderatorship until it's fixed

Suggested a strike. Other mods weren't interested.

3/ Take a more proactive stand

I was at MAX last week and had only one meeting scheduled. Guess what

that was about.

4/ Etc., etc.

My number 4 is "write the fix myself". Unfortunately they didn't want to

install it.

So what is your number 4? And 5? And 6?

My number 4 and 5 and 6, as you so kindly ask, is that i suggest you take the bit betwwen your teeth and resign. See 2/ above. That way threat translates into action instead of being sheer verbosity.

When I lowered my screen resolution to 1024 x 768 on Vista the adobe edit window does not scale.
