Hi Noel, and thank you ....

The normal way, *grab* a side/top/bottom/corner by cursoring over it 'til the pointer becomes a double-headed arrow, then click-and-drag it to resize the window ... just as you describe in fact.

Sadly, your suggested resize/generate/close/reopen steps makes no difference. Plus, up til friday evening I could just drag-and-resize right on the desktop no problem without any other steps.

So it should still be resizing the contents of the window as well in proportion in order to present the full measure. Instead however it still reduces just the *frame*, and the content stays same-size so gets covered/clipped.

It is almost as if the upgrade from 2008 (where I think window-content didn't resize in proportion?) to 2013 (where it certainly should do!) has suddenly dropped this function since the last time I switched off.

And in case you are wondering, yes I did try shutting down again and restarting in case it was a one-off loading problem, but it was still the same.

As a last-ditch attempt I could always try reapplying the update if there isn't a simple switch-it-on option that I am missing, in case something has become corrupted ... but that's really just an uneducated stab in the dark.

So at the same time if anybody actually knows of a legitimate option/step that officially enables you to flip between fixed content size and content that resizes with the window, feel free to point it out - please! smile

I am in the UK and it is ater 1:30am so I need to get to bed, but I'll check back in the morning and then see about chasing this down further in the clear light of a new day!

Thanks in advance for anyone who might have more to add on this.
