Odd behaviour
 
Maybe someone can explain to me what is happening. I just recently got ZMud reinstalled and I let it upgrade to the latest version (now running 7.21). After connecting to a MUD the screen looks as expected. However, any time I even so much as mouse-over the top toolbar (file, edit, view, settings, etc) my screen starts getting smaller and smaller! It starts from the bottom right and pulls itself up every mouseover that happens so in a matter of seconds the only thing left is the title bar. I can re-expand the window to the desired size but the next time my mouse goes near those top icons it starts shrinking up.

My laptop (Dell Latitude D610) is the only one it happens on. I haven't seen it happen on my home PC. I'm running Windows XP SP2.

Any ideas?

Some themeing programs like WindowBlinds are not compatible with zMud. Check your laptop for such a program and see if it has an exclusion capability. If not get rid of it, you obviously don't use such on you home system and it was likely part of Dell's silly package bundle.

Awesome Vijilante. I didn't even think about that. That's exactly what it was, it was Windows Blinds that was killing it. Thanks for the help and have a great day ;)

Thank you! This post also helped me solve my own problem. I was wondering why the interface started rolling up into itself.. It was really weird and annoying to watch.
