I finally submitted my graduate thesis, so I figured I'd install 4.51 and have a go at a fresh start. I accidentally booted Steve's game in 4.40, and all my reduced height windows were no longer reduced in any other games, or after the switch to 4.51.
Everything was working fine last time I played, but now , not so much.
The selection for reduced height windows is checked, and most of the windows are playable, but a few are cut off. Not sure what happened here, or why its not reducing as requested.
I had the same problem the first time I ran it. I couldn't reduce the windows, so ran in a higher resolution-- switched back to the preferred resolution, and suddenly it was working-- reduced heights all around.
Now its broken, and that makes me a sad panda.
