Results Viewer is maximizing all windows

ColeG — Tue, 23 Apr 2019 16:19:00 GMT

Hello,

Beginning a couple of days ago, every time the Results Viewer opens, it opens in full screen, which maximizes my other windows as well. This happens either with a new SAS session and running any procedure that generates output, or if I run "dm odsresults 'clear'" and then run another program that will generate output.

I have not touched my settings and in looking at Options-->Preferences-->Results, I don't see anything that would explain this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, it's just annoying enough that I want to change it back.

Apologies if this is the wrong board.

If Tools>Options>Preferences> General has the "Save settings on Exit" checked and you shut down SAS with the Result window expanded that might happen.

The "fix" would be to set the size for the results windows as desired and then shut down SAS. That should set the default size to what you want for that window.

You can set the size and position of the editor, log and output window but placing/sizing as desired and then issuing a WSAVE command by typing that in the little command box in the upper left for each window.

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion. I do have that option selected and have tried closing and reopening SAS with everything as I want it (classic turn it off, turn it back on again) and that did not do anything. All the other windows stay as I like them but for some reason the Results Viewer stubbornly refuses to open in anything but full screen.

Edit:

Selecting all the default Window options in order, maximizing and minimizing everything several times out of irritation, and then force quitting seems to have knocked something loose and it's back to working as expected. No idea why. Thank you again for your suggestion.
