Environment Visual Studio 2008 on Windows XP home with SP2.
Dual monitors are installed with the second monitor extending the first.
The right edge of the VS main window is pulled over to a bit more than the middle of the right or second monitor.
While editing, compiling, and building a solution, the edit window for the particular code file is set to a particular size and location with VS and is entirely contained within the left monitor. All edges are visible between the Solution Explorer and the Properties window on the left.
When I start the program running, VS resizes the window and puts the left edge under the Solution Explorer. This obscures the code I was editing and want to check with the debugger. It sometimes stretches the window all the way over to the right and puts the right edge under the Properties window. Neither the right edge nor the left edge is visible.
After I am done with my debug session and have edited the debug/run mode, a window labeled cmdtarg.cpp is smeared all across my screen in the same manner. I cannot see either edge, cannot get to the close button on the right, and the bottom extends below the VS main window and off the screen. I did not ask for this window. I did not have it displayed before I started the debugger, I don’t want it on the screen, much less smeared all over my screen such that I have to move it around a bit at a time just to be able to close it.
What configuration can I set to tell Visual Studio:
Do not resize my windows!
Do not move my windows!
When I start the debugger, leave them where they are!
Is anyone else having this problem?
