Paul:
Try this. Open "prefs" in RB, go to screen #1 ("General") and see if the second to last box ("When resizing....") is checked. If so, uncheck it, and then experiment with expanding and contracting the screen.
I think something has changed in the latest implementations, but it's hard to figure out.
Good luck. (Alternatively, new glasses, but these days, new monitors may actually be cheaper than eyeglasses.)
