Applies to:Power Tab Editor (1.7)
Created:26-Jan-2003

Bug status:Open
Bug severity:Low
Revision number:5
Author(s):Brad Larsen

Symptoms

When playing a Power Tab score, the program does not go into full screen mode (sizes itself to the full size of the screen) and the left side of the score appears chopped off.

Cause

Coding bug.

More Information

When entering playback mode, the program is supposed to hide all menus and toolbars, and then size the viewing window to the full size of the screen. The bug documented in this article causes the program's window size to remain the same size that it was in before playback.

Resolution

You can get around this bug by making sure the program window is maximized when playback occurs. To maximize the program window, click the maximize button on the right hand side of the blue caption bar at the top of the window. (The button to the left of the "X" button)
