Interesting. I just checked an FM7.0 installation, and I'm seeing the same thing. It's a not-very-helpful feature/enhancement, since the annoyingly small text boxes in, for instance, the Marker dialog don't become any larger when you resize the dialog. I've never used it, but I understood that the ResourceHacker application which Stuart recommended made _useful_ dialog box changes possible -- larger text boxes, bigger fonts. The changes FM7.x enables are pointless. > My recollection was that this did not happen back on FM5.5 on > the Mac, but seems to be current standard misbehavior on the > PC.

It doesn't happen in FM6 on WinXP either (my current working environment). But why is it annoying you? Dialogs don't resize spontaneously -- you have to hover the mouse pointer over an edge or corner until the resize arrows appear and then drag the edge or corner. So don't do that!
