| MUSHclient was working fine for me, as it has for years now, when the input/output window suddenly squashed up against the right hand side of the screen. In other words, most of my screen is grey, with the actual working bits showing just two characters wide on the right of the display. It did this the first time mid-game - I was just typing some text to input at the time and hadn't altered any settings. Since then the program's been opening with this squashed screen.
It seems to be some sort of setting problem rather than a bug but I've been unable to find reference to it anywhere in the docs and help files. The only work-around I've found is to uninstall the program and reinstall it - a fairly drastic solution. It works fine first time but as soon as I close the program and reopen it the squashed display appears again.
I'm running version 4.61 now but the problem started on an earlier version a month or so back, which I updated in the hope of solving it. It's on a Samsung NC10 netbook running Windoze XP SP3.
If anyone can put me right I'll be eternally grateful. Thanks! | | Top |

| Click the View menu and click Reset Toolbar Locations. That's the first and easiest way. Alternatively, you can find the darker-grey horizontal band in the gray area, mouse over its far left edge, hold the left mouse button, and drag it out into its own window ("undock" it). After that, you can return it to its original location below the input area by dragging it there again.
This is a pretty common problem. The only thing you can really do to prevent it is to make sure you don't accidentally drag it back out again. |

| | Thanks very much for the prompt replies! I looked for a click'n'drag area but obviously missed it - and I swear I DID check the FAQs first, must get those new glasses... ;) | | Top |
