Description

When moving the Brackets man window from a HDPI (e.g. a laptop screen) screen to a LDPI screen (e.g. a normal external screen) I cannot maximize the main window. It'll clip itself to a smaller size.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have two monitors with differing DPI, one high and the other normal.
2. Start Brackets on the HDPI screen.
3. Move Brackets to the LDPI screen. Just drag it there.
4. Maximize the bRackets main window.

Expected behavior: [What you expected to happen]

It should maximize normally.

Actual behavior: [What actually happened]

It maximizes, but the main window is sort of cropped to a smaller resolution, where a chunk on the right and at the bottom of the Brackets main window is transparent. The min/max/close buttons are therefor hidden.

This also happens when resizing the main window manually, beyond its "allowed" maximum that this use case appears to dictate.

Versions

Windows 10 Home x64 with FCU

that picture is my wallpaper showing through. I promise, Brackets is totally maximized here!

I've just found out that screen DPI makes no difference. This issue also occurs when the two monitors are both at equal (standard) DPI setting and just simply of different resolution.

That makes this problem slightly worse, tbh.

Same here. I move all instances of brackets to the external screen, close them, then relaunch them so they open on the external screen, this "fixes" the issue.

No it doesn't fix the issue. Please don't say that, next thing we know the issue will be closed :X
It's a workaround at best.

This is currently being looked upon. I have added a task as a must fix here. #14044
