It's something that has been around for years, has annoyed me for years, and today has annoyed me sufficiently to vent.
Why do some windows (specifically in Microsoft applications, but I am sure in others too) have a fixed size?
I'm looking at you, VS2010 Configuration Manager!
Here;s a perfectly good grid, that I want to be able to expand the columns sufficiently to read, and to see as many items as possible - and I can't becuase someone at MS decided I wouldn't be allowed to resize the window!
Why not?

Size? I'd say their name gives all the info really needed around this whole dilemma. They are named MICRO SOFT after all, are they not?

It's a dialog, and they have fixed sizes; a legacy of the bad old days. The problem is (sort of) solved by moving to .NET where any form can be displayed as a dialog.
|
|
|
|
|
Some dialogs have predefined sizes, but that can be overridden during design time, and adding a resize routine doesn't require a rocket surgeon.

Exactly so, I have done it myself in the past.
|
|

But it's WPF fer christ's sake. All forms can be resized by default, so they took steps to prevent it.

Don't tell me you've never used an adobe product!
Almost all of their windows are fixed at too-****ing-tiny-to-be-of-any-****ing-use-whatsoever-because-the-devs-are-too-lazy-to-resize-their-content.
I did have a little TSR that overrode window-size fixing, but it was of limited use, and stopped working with Weven.

well, I have, but not a great deal, and i've never noticed a problem with dialog boxes. Lots of other problems, but not that!

My favourite is the file selector in FrameMaker's SharePoint connector. It's too narrow to include anything except the first few steps along the path to the files.
Same with their error dialogs: "Cannot open drive://step/step/ste...". That's a lt of fruggin' use when opening the four-hundred files that make up a document.

I can see you really don't like Adobe, much.
