Hmmm... A follow up on my own eMail? Okay... I turned off the dual monitor mode, and the app loads fine in maximize window mode. I played around with the dual monitor display setup some more, but as yet have not found a solution. I actually set up my apps to auto-center if a person is running with a single monitor, and for multiple monitors I tuck the the app windows into the upper left of the display sets, as autocentering on a dual monitor system yileds some strange results <g>. Anyway, I do not get the feeling the app is hiding because of the dual monitor display when lit up in maximize window mode, but... Who knows.
