Odd windows behaviour FM9 on Win7

[Alison White]

Thanks Klaus,
Indeed, I've determined something odd in my local user setup (running from a
different user area the problem is gone). I've yet to isolate what, but I
assume it’s a plug in. It may even be that I have messed up the installation
of your enhanced tool bar! TBA
Thanks again,
Alison

Alison,

Here on my W7 x64 FrameMaker 9 (and 10) behave as You expect:
- Any application window is open
- FrameMaker 9 is either in maximised window or in not maximised mode
- FrameMaker Console window also exists
- Right click on task bar and select "Show Windows Side by Side"
=> FrameMaker 9 and the open app use half of the screen each.
   FM console window is not touched
=> Undo "Show Side by Side" : the previous arrangement appears.
=> The last active window will become the left in the side by side
arrangement.

So there must be some other influence on You system.
