I noticed this even before I was using beta versions. I use dual monitors and Logos 4 spills onto the other monitor slightly. Anyone else having this issue?
So far as I know, it doesn't effect usability or readability.
I haven't noticed that, but will look for it Sunday - I use a projector as a second monitor (extended mode) when teaching.
However I have noticed that the drawing mode doesn't work on a floating window displayed on the second monitor with the main Logos window on my laptop monitor. When I press F8 I loose the ability to scroll the floating window with my wheel or even the slide bar but it doesn't draw (using right and left mouse buttons). I have to press ESC to regain navigation control of the floating window.
Robert,
I use dual monitors (laptop screen + external LCD) and have not noticed any spill-over issue. Is your L4 maximized on its monitor?

I don't know if this helps. The arrows show the spill over onto my second screen.
Once I maximize on the other screen, it is fine (no 'spill')
Keep in mind, Logos is maximized on my screen 1.
I use dual monitors in a desktop system without any spillover. I don't know it it matters or not, but I am running Logos on a Mac under Parallels with XP.
I don't have this problem. Using laptop screen and an external monitor.
No problem here either. This could be a graphics card driver issue.
I recall having this issue a while back, but have not noticed it lately. It wasn't that severe; just the edge of the window could be seen on the other monitor, even when maximized, if I remember correctly. Seems okay now...
Check your alignment in Windows. Bleed from one screen to another is a windows/driver issue.
It's not always a driver issue. The problem only happens with Logos. All drivers are fine and windows aligned properly.
I'm not using the Beta, but I do use a lot of monitors in the "normal" version, and pretty much haven't seen this issue...although with one calendar reading list, it didn't enforce a right margin, making it nigh impossible to work with that reading list until I floated the panel...but that reading list has _lots_ of issues (trying to read Christian History Magazine across 112 sessions).
That said, Logos wrote V4 in WPF, and in a different thread (http://community.logos.com/forums/t/9393.aspx) I was warned that some video drivers (like my USB ones) don't play well with WPF. Perhaps that kind of problem is what you are experiencing (I've not had this problem yet).
Logos, using Windows Presentation Foundation, is probably driving the graphics card and drivers uniquely from your other apps - DX9, vector based, etc. etc.. How many other WPF apps do you have? For most people the answer is none.
That said, have you checked the adjustment of your monitors like this?
Dual monitors can be flakey in both Windows XP and Vista. This is an easy fix, though.1. Open the Display Settings dialog:
2. The two monitor icons are probably not aligned. Drag them so they’re lined up, just as your physical monitors are. You should also double-click the resolutions. Then, click OK.
Really, yahoo messenger is a WPF app, so is Outlook Calendar Printing Assistant (which I use).
I know how to set up monitors, align them, make sure drivers are up to date, etc. What I don't need is unsolicited “advice” from help desk jockeys.

Robert, I believe Dominick was trying to help. I don't think he deserved to be called names.

I've had this issue, along with the 'black bar of annoyance' issue. It happens with L4 running full screen on one screen with a dual monitor setup. It's related to the way Logos4 handles the special display issues available through WPF.
If you want to get rid of it type in the following command into the L4 command bar: Set Custom Chrome to No.
Well, if he was trying to help he could have read my post saying that my windows were aligned.

Thank you, I will try this when I get home.
I use dual monitors in Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit edition and do not have this spill over issue
Your responses to Dominick would make me less likely to help you in the future. His advice was not unsolicited—You asked for help.
If your help is like his "help" then you can keep it. The unsolicited part was his condesending tone about not having any WPF apps as well as his not reading the other posts to know that I said that I checked the alignment. So he was no help at all as it turns out.
Are you familiar with the country song "You may be the only Bible they ever read"? (or something close to that) On the forum you are not getting company employees, you are getting other users who are willing to spend some of their time trying to help others. In doing so, they get used to trying to provide information to a number of people who can't articulate their problems very well. Result: a user may offer advice that does not apply in your case but did apply in a previous case that sounded similar. Because the information is provided by volunteers, it behooves you to not alienate them. Unlike employees they are under no obligation to answer your questions.
Actually, bad help is no help at all and actually makes matters worse.

So does this statement mean that the custom chrome setting fixed your problem, then? Good to know.

Robert, I encourage you to read the tone of your posts and evaluate the light in which they cast you. You are effectively managing to alienate yourself and give the impression that you are not a gracious person. I do not know you; and I hope that in light of your desire to study the word of God you are a godly, humble, & gracious person. But I think that if you read your responses, especially in light of the time spent by people (maybe effective maybe not) voluntarily in order to help you, you would change the tone of your responses.
You are obviously very knowledgeable about computers, and therefore a potentially great addition to the fellowship & help offered and received on these forums. But in order for this to happen we must keep in step with forum guideline #3: "Please treat each other with the love, courtesy, respect, and kindness that you would if you were sitting in your living room together" and more importantly the guidelines that the Word of God sets forth for our conduct.

Yes that did work.
Dominick's did not.
Sorry I lost track of this thread - I was able to reproduce this issue with 4.0b Beta 12 and as of 4.0b RC1 this issue is fixed.
Edit: For the record the issue was occuring when you would have Logos4 in a window spread out across two monitors and then maximizing it would leave a sliver of the screen outside the left side. Not a driver issue.

Hi
This problem seems to be back in 4.1RC2.
Can anyone else confirm this?
Graham
I do not have any bleed over in dual screens, either with Set Custom Chrome set to Yes or No (I usually run in Yes to see the larger buttons in the top left corner). Logos is maximized, all looks fine to me.
I've had it recently, but not now.
Dominick / Mark - thanks for the responses.
It is working fine here now for me as well!
I guess it must have been some combination of things I did which caused this - I will keep an eye on it and see if I can work out how to reproduce it.
