Track information pane doesn't return to its size when unmaximizing window

[mless]

Hello!

I'm a long time MusicBee user and this minor problem really annoys me. I'm wondering if it's possible to avoid it.
I have the "Now Playing" pane on the top right of the window and "Track information" (with artwork) on the bottom right, like this:

I want all panes to pretty much always stay in the same position and size so I don't have to replace everything constantly.
If I unmaximize and then remaximize the MusicBee window, here is what happens:

All the panels go back exactly to their original size, except for the "Track information" in the bottom right. The artwork is cropped and I have to resize it manually using the splitter everytime. I've done this hundreds of times. Can this be fixed?

Thanks!

A similar thing happens to me, but with the track details columns. They resize to the point where the song titles disappear. It only happens when the window is resized so that the display area is too small to display all the data and then remaximized.

can you PM me a link to your settings file (help/ support/ view settings).
Sometimes i cant reproduce problems even with the settings file, so one thing that would be useful to know is if it happens when the wavebar is not displayed in the now playing panel

[Steven]

i cant reproduce this but i assume you are using a high DPI screen and suspect it relates somehow to that.
Let me know if you will run a debug version

Sure, send me the link for the debug version.
I use a 27 inch monitor and the resolution is 2560x1440. Not sure about the DPI, I'll have to check when I get home.
Thanks!

first update to v2.5 if you are not already using it - unzip and replace the existing files:
http://musicbee.niblseed.com/V2_5/MusicBee_Exe_Patched.zip

and then replace musicbee.exe with this one:

i forgot to mention i need the information at the end of the error log, for around the time you do this.

I can reproduce this, and probably it has little to do with DPI setting.
It depends on the height of track info panel when un-maximized.  If it's shorter than the original, it fails to restore its original height when re-maximized, keeping the shorter height.

@mless
the logs you sent are really confusing trying to figure out what you were doing (or perhaps its just some unexpected windows messaging going on).
Could just do the following only:
- start MB (and confirm it starts as maximised)
- set MB to normal window size
- remaximise
- send me the entries at the end of the error log (help/ support/ view error log)

edit:
although i initially didnt think the file list size was being set to less than 0 height as redwing is suggesting, infact from what i can see in the log it does appear to be the case. A screenshot in normal window state might help clarify that. I am not sure i would be willing to make changes to accomodate preserving the maximised state in this circumstance but i will see what would be involved.

[Steven]

thanks for the screenshot. Its exactly as i said in my edit. The window size is shrunk so much that the filelist effectively gets set to 0 because it would need to be a negative size to fit into the space available and hence when restored to maximum size does not restore to the same dimensions.
As i said i will have a look but not promising to make changes to address that use case

No problem! See what you can do.
Thanks!!
