Hi Siamak
I hope you're having a good day. I was just taking a look at this and I've not been able to reproduce it on my own computer. Can I ask which version of LabVIEW you are using? I have tried it on LabVIEW 8.2.1, LabVIEW 8.5.1 and 8.6.1 but have not been able to observe this behaviour. When I am resizing the block diagram, my Navigation Window is resizing its image to match. Is there any chance you could post a screenshot of the Navigation Window, showing these blank spaces either side?
Kind Regards

You must be kidding me, or confusing me. Then why do we have a scrollable screen, with such a large limit?

You probably have some lost object all the way to the right hand side or the bottom
Move your white area over to the right hand edge of the navigation window. Slowly scroll up/down to see if any tiny object appears. Do the same thing along the bottom edge scrolling left/right.
Actually try the bottom edge first. Because of the aspect ratio, I think there is a slightly better than 50/50 chance a small object is near the bottom rather than the right hand side.

The large screen is for people that do not know how to properly design a program.
Seriously, a large block diagram is next to impossible to maintain and there are a lot of methods to keep the size reasonable. There have been numerous discussions on this and it's one of the elements in all the style guides I have seen. A large block diagram is also easier to 'break' and cause corrupted VIs. Modularize your code so that your successor does not hunt you down and beat you about the head.
