LabVIEW 5.0.1fl solaris fixed window size

[Bill_Dickson]

I have just upgraded to LabVIEW 5.0.1fl on Solaris 2. Now, once a vi has been saved, closed and re-opened, I cannot reduce the size of the front panel or block diagram windows. I can increase the height or width but not decrease it.

Depending on how you have the VI properties set you can get the front panel to exhibit this sort of behaviour, but if the block diagram is doing it to there is definately some thing hosed. It migth be time to uninstall everything LV-wise and reinstall from scratch.

What version of LV were you upgrading from? Does the same thing happen with new VIs that you create? Anything else changed in the system lately--new drivers for example?

Was upgraded from 5.0.1. No new drivers recently (apart from the upgrade). The problem happens with new vi's and old ones too.

One more thing to ask: Has this machine every had versions earlier than V5 on it? I have seen funny problems like this before with computers that had an early version installed on them and were just upgraded time--after time--after time.

In any case, it sure sounds like it's time for a clean reinstall...

What window manager are you using? What version of Solaris 2? What version
of X Windows? What version of LabVIEW did you upgrade from?
