Hi all,
can anyone help with this issue please. For some reason the save dialogue box has expanded outwards to beyond each side of my computer screen. It seems to have come out of nowhere and I cannot for the life of me work out how to reduce it, dragging does nothing and I can't seem to find a way to delete the empty, unused columns.

It first appeared on a 2014 MacBook Pro, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't help, I've since bought a 2019 MacBook and first time saving something, it's reared its ugly head once again.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated so I don't have to keep dragging the box to get the the "save" or "cancel" buttons.



Thanks in advance.

This what I do on a PC - I don't know if it's the same on a Mac, but worth a try

Try F11 or
Hide folder list then unhide

Double click Title Bar

What version and build of Band-in-a-Box are you using? There has been a fix for this in the 2020 version, build 426. Build updates are posted here: https://www.pgmusic.com/support_macintoshupdates.htm

Thanks for the quick replies,
The update fixed it, a brief stressful moment as the dialogue box was still huge but I had the house to try dragging the edges in and "bingo".

Once again, thanks.
