LaunchBox window randomly shrinks????

[FistyDollars]

So this has been an ongoing issue for me for a while, and I thought I'd post here and see if anyone could help:

 

Occasionally (and it only happens like 1 in 20 times or so) I'll start LaunchBox and the window, instead of being the size I left it at, will be shrunk to around 640x480 or so in the upper left corner of my screen. In addition, the button bar will be disabled for some reason. I've NEVER shrunk it to this size, and I have no idea why it does this. I then have to resize my game details pane and stretch the window back to where I had it.

 

Am I going crazy? Is it gremlins? Can someone help?

Does this to me occasionally too except maybe the button bar thing but the small size top left corner is spot on

I've seen it too, but much more rare. It's voodoo!

I assume this is with the original LaunchBox and not LaunchBox.Next? When I've seen this happen in the past it's been because of an emulator changing resolution, which causes the window to resize. I'm not sure if LaunchBox.Next is affected by the same issue, but at this point we're going to put off any issues like that until we've fully converted over.

Fair enough. I haven't used Launchbox Next enough to say for sure whether it's still an issue, I've been waiting for a couple more features to be implemented.

2 emulators that I have used in the past that caused this was Fusion and Kat5200, both of those emulators handle resolution changes rather poorly.

[DOS76]

for me this is occasionally when opening the program or when it opens itself after an update although I've also seen what Monkus is describing with both of those emulators that isn't the same.

that makes sense about resolution change, but when i've seen it, it's like dos describes. none of my emulators shrink any windows i have on screen (browser, file explorer, etc). but it's super rare that i see this and not a big deal at all, just a little voodoo in there. i haven't seen it with .next but i don't really use .next either. once controller automation and fade background gets in .next i'll be using it more.
