Pop Peeper opens too wide on Win 11

Post by Shorecat »

Ever since the most recent Win 11 upgrade my Pop Peeper Pro opens very wide. I can't even see the column after "Subject" and I can't figure out how to shrink it down. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum Shorecat,

Try doing a right-click anywhere in the column headers and select the option "Use optimal column sizes" (from the context menu).

Thanks for the reply. I have already changed the column sizes, and that is no issue. What I am describing is that when the program opens full screen the area below the toolbar (which appears to be slightly pink) extends past the right side of my screen and I can barely see a sliver of the "search" box. I also don't have the ability to scroll as there is no scroll bar present on the right side. This happened before on a Windows update, but then seemed to go away, or was fixed by a subsequent update. BTW, I am running my monitor at 3840X2160, if this info helps.

Thanks!

Try exiting/restarting POP Peeper and if that doesn't work, reboot Windows.

If that still doesn't work, can you include a screenshot that exhibits the problem?

I had tried those things before, but, lo and behold, this time when I rebooted my computer Pop Peeper was back to normal. Who knows why???
Thank you!

Ha, that reminded me of the joke where the IT guy gives advice to a friend who is having car problems.

[Friend] My car won't start...
[IT guy] Have you tried exiting from it and re-entering?
