Separated waveform in portrait mode: Maximize button doesn't work right (Vivado 2016.4, Windows 10)

[bcarltontrex]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run a simulation.
2. On the waveform window, press the separate button (box with arrow point up and right).
3. Move the waveform window to a monitor in portrait mode.
4. Press the maximize button.
5. Observe the window doesn't fill the monitor but instead is wider but not as tall.

Any ideas how to fix?

Hi @bcarltontrex,

Is it possible for you to attach a screenshot for steps 3 and 5?

Thanks & Regards,

Can you let us know the resolution of both the monitors? Does it work fine when Vivado is launched in second monitor?

Actually it is 3 monitors. I wonder if that is the issue.

Before maximizing. Note the left monitor is taller in pixel than the other two

After maximizing:

@svanapar, launching Vivado on that monitor did solve the problem. This sounds as if it is a bug. The left ons is 1050w  x 1680h (1680 x 1050 but rotated), the other two are 1920 w x 1080 h

@svanapar and @prathikm it appears that maximizing a detached window causes it to go to the resolution of the monitor Viavado is started on. Not on the current monitor. This is a bug.

This resolution issue may be present in not-separated windows that are still separate from the main Vivado one. For example in the window that appears when you customize IP.

@bcarltontrex

We recommend a minimum resolution of just 1024x768. This is a bug and already reported with CR-967991. It is tentatively scheduled to be fixed in 2017.1 release. You can continue launching Vivado in 2nd monitor for now.
