The main window can't stay maximized. Floating preview windows and settings windows keep moving upward.

Here's my system version, as shown in the screenshot below.






(1)
The XYplorer window is not maximized. Please look at the changes in the button icons in the top right corner of the window
I set it to maximized.
I open a subfolder.
The XYplorer window becomes not maximized.
I set it to maximized again.
I open another subfolder.
The XYplorer window is not maximized again.

(2)
The floating preview window also can't stay maximized.
I open an image with F11 and set it to maximized. Please look at the changes in the button icons in the top right corner of the window
I open another image with F11, the window is not maximized.

(3)
When opening floating preview windows multiple times, the windows keep moving upward.
When opening settings windows multiple times, they also keep moving upward.
The same also happens with the action log window.

(4)
Many windows have blank info bars. I've already taken screenshots.

Please help. Thanks a lot.

Concerning your other errors: Can't do anything about them because you did not read the red stuff above. Is it not red enough?

Mysterious!

I have the same specs here, but none of the issues. Can't explain it at the moment. :|

Are you using anything unusual in your system, like 3rd party themes or window managers?

The third issue affects usage.

The fourth issue doesn't need to be solved. Because it doesn't affect usage.


I installed Windows 8.1 on VMware (virtual machine). The system is brand new and I haven't installed any other software.

I extracted the 64-bit xyplorer_full_noinstall_28.40.0400.zip and tried many times (Close the window, then open it again, and keep repeating.), but the window gradually moved upward.

One or two other users reported a blank top section, but nobody reported moving dialogs. Anyway, I would guess it's a related to VMware.

The computer I use for work isn’t VMware. When I run into a problem, I try to see if the same issue occurs on a completely new system (VMware). I only report the problem if it happens there too.

If two people report the same issue, it generally means more people are experiencing it. Most people don’t report errors because it takes time, especially across different countries and languages.

About a year ago, I downloaded the 64-bit software and ran into lots of problems. I didn’t report them and went back to the 32-bit version, just quietly waiting. Almost a year later, I started using the 64-bit software again, and many issues have been resolved. It works fine now. Only the two problems mentioned above still slightly affect my work.

It will be fixed eventually. I just need a way to reproduce it.
