Thanks for your response and help. I was mistaken on many of the things I said. It is great to hear that this is being worked.

As the one that started the tirade of a thread, I would like to thank the developers for quickly implementing the fix, whatever form that takes. My monitor physically cannot go larger that 1024x768.

That's not actually what the coders did. What the coders did was take the screen dimensions that were used when MLS was targeting 800x600 and expand the surface areas by exactly 224x168. Based on what we're seeing, the same issue would have occurred with the previous version of MLS when running at 800x600.
As a developer myself, I can easily say that them just increasing the dimensions by 224x168, equates to forgetting about the task bar. I have done it myself. Nothing wrong with it, just a oversight that can be corrected. When the minimum size was 800x600, there were fewer monitors that had that as a maximum and was an issue.

I can talk with the project manager about making it an open beta fairly early in the process so that it can be downloaded as soon as we're comfortable with a widespread release.

The window size has been adjusted in MLS 3.7.4 so that the button isn't hidden.
That is wonderful to hear... than you very much.

And that is exactly how the process improves. Thanks.

As one that is affected directly by this, I am willing to state that it is a very quick turn around time and I personally would not want the testing portion abbreviated just to save time as that will allow other bugs to slip through.

Again... thank you very much for doing the leg work on your side and pass on to the coders my appreciation for addressing this further. I understand why they want a larger minimum resolution to allow for better application functionality.

Regards,
Alan
