Hi Richard,
Thanks for this clarification.
I wrote off list to Jon telling him:
Before speaking about a bug or even a dysfunction, all this should
need some tests to know if Rev adjusts the windowBoundingRect
according to the presence, the side, etc. of the task bar or just
keeps x pixels at the bottom of the screen on Windows, at the top
on Mac OS.
No time to dig in now: I'll release a new amazing plug-in to
morrow ;-)
So, you did it yet.
Thank you :-)

Eric,
Thanks. On my windows system, the task bar is on the left, not on
the bottom; and it auto-hides, rather than always being visible.
So, the correct behavior on my system would be for all
applications to expand to fill the screen. On other computers,
this might NOT be the correct behavior. Simply setting the
windowsBoundingRect to the screenRect would be correct on my
computer, but might screw someone else up.
This defect seems to me to be a minor bug in Rev. Do you agree?
It would be if the windowBoundingRect were fixed to one size for
all machines. But it's not: it's calculated dynamically when the
app starts, based on system calls which tells it the location and
size of these elements.
It does a reliable job of accounting for the OS X Dock in all
positions and sizes I've tested, and seems to do well with the Task
Bar on Windows in all sizes I've tested on. I haven't tested with
a placement on the sides, but since it's using system calls for
this I'd be surprised if it didn't also do that one well; if not
then yes, that would be a bug.
The engine initializes the windowBoundingRect to be the full size
of the main display less these trimmings. The Rev IDE changes it
to also account for its toolbar, which your app can do also if it
needs to support a toolbar.
Best Regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
