I display a window, auto-minimize, auto resize, action-maximize.
I display the main-screen and it is maximized.
I perform the code created by genmenu
I then call w$menu using wmenu-show main-handle
As soon as this is done the window shrinks down as if the restore down button had been activated. I can then click the maximize button and the screen goes back to the maximized size.

Why does w$menu cause the screen to shrink?

    I'm not sure why the screen is becoming un-maximized when W$MENU is called. Can you attach a tiny demo program?

    Adding "MODIFY window-handle, ACTION = ACTION-MAXIMIZE." right after the call to W$MENU may be a workaround.

    This always happens when in debug mode.

    I tried the action-maximize but it does not cause the screen to maximize. I have attached a scaled down version of my menu program as suggested.
    Thanks for your replys.

    As for email responses, we have not made any changes to the forum configuration, perhaps the email is caught by a spam filter?
