window glitch in LabVIEW 2013

DaveT,

 

I see the same effect on my Mac.

 

Clicking the Use Current Panel Size button on the Window Run-Time Position page of the VI properties dialog seems to cure it.

 

Then I tried several combinations of panel size settings on that page and the Window Size page. Now I cannot get the problem to come back.

 

So it appears to be some kind of interaction among those settings.

Lynn,

   Thanks for verifying it.  I agree that it's related to some combination of window settings.  I found a few of those earlier, as posted above.  I hadn't tried the Use Current Panel Size fix.  That does seem to help.  Thanks!

   I suspect that this could be a bizarre inheritance from when a LV 2012 VI with certain things set into LV 2013, which is probably why more people aren't noticing it.

Dave,

 

What things?  I really hate to belabor you but, there seems to be a CAR needed.   And, I'm always happy to be learning new tricks.

Although I didn't find this when I was first posting, I've now found an older thread discussing this same behavior:

I'll post another cross-link there to this thread.

This is a known issue which NI is aware of. Currently, there are two workarounds:

 

1) Change Window Size»Minimum Panel Size Width and Height to 0,0. 
2) Check "Use Current Panel Size" box under "Window Run-Time Position."

 

Hope that helps!

Ian,

 

I was able to reproduce this behavior in LabVIEW 2015, so I don't believe that it has been fixed, but R&D is still aware of the issue. It seems that setting the minimum front panel size in the VI properties is an easy workaround.
