Dear all, I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a Sony Vaio Z. With coot I experience an interesting graphical feature. When I maximise the window, the window does not fit to the screen anymore. Moreover the window now jumps between two different views, shown here:

As a result, I cannot click on anything, since the window moves first, i.e. I can't even open the menu. I can work in the non-maximised mode (either manually adjusted with the mouse or a full screen button added like shown here https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A2=ind1010&L=COOT&P=R2&1=COOT&9=A&I=-3&J=on&d=No+Match%3BMatch%3BMatches&z=4). However, I can only adjust the window in the horizontal direction, the window already starts way too large in the vertical direction, with no status bar at the bottom visible: http://shelx.uni-ac.gwdg.de/~tbeck/scratch/coot3.png The result is that I can't read what's printed on the status line, like B factors, distance and all that. I can of course look in the terminal window, but I would prefer to have the usual maximised coot window. Maybe this is due to the desktop/panels settings in Ubuntu. I have changed the top and bottom panel (made them move away when not active, deleted them, ...) but the coot window still jumps, just maximised to the new free space, but still no full window visible. So far I have only experienced this behaviour with coot. Pymol, ccp4i, ... are fine. I have tried both the nightly build coot-Linux-x86_64-ubuntu-9.04-gtk2-python and the one packaged by Morten Kjeldgaard <https://launchpad.net/%7Emok0/+archive/ppa>, no difference. When using an external screen, there is no problem at all. The coot window can be maximised to the full screen, status bar visible. Maybe someone has experienced something similar and can give me some advice how to resolve this? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Tobias.
