I'll look into that, thank you. I really don't use too many that have a number of on-top dialog boxes. I'll pay more attention now. There is one thing that may be a cause and if that's is the case, then I'll just have to learn to deal with it. On my laptop I have a large width but it isn't tall. The taskbar at the bottom will not allow me to see full screen videos very well, so I always move my taskbar to the left of the screen. I tried it on the right but scrollbars were a constant interference. The left works better so it could be opening to the left, under the taskbar, as though it doesn't recognize that the taskbar is on the left? Maybe?
Anyway, I'll do some research on it to see what I can do to fix it. I was just curious if I was alone in this, like it is my computer making the mistake. Thank you so much, Mr. Kelly!
