I have no idea why they are fixing stuff that is not broken but at least it proves they are at work   :noid

I floated the idea of adding submarines back in '02. Full speed ahead HTC!

+1 on changing clipboard back

I don't want to have to move my clipboard from where it goes and has been at for years just to see half my radio window...and it completely covers my range and channel window...

Maybe a compromise? Make the clipboard able to be sent back or forward a layer based on user selection.  Or, would be nice if dialog boxes would remember their last position and draw there?

I think this is how it already was before the recent changes....  your FE would remember the size of clipboard and location via one of the settings files

The clipboard kept position, but dialog boxes always seem to draw center screen? (Those not displayed as part of the clipboard).

The only boxes that ever showed up in the middle of my screen were the save film box and the score mission as box.... all other windows and/or boxes showed up where I wanted them to or in the text buffer, if it was a join flight or join squad message

Can someone post a screenshot for context?

And can we have a full screen map option please as well?

In real life I can open my charts as much as I want.  I'm not limited by a clipboard size unless I'm using my iPad.   :salute

Saw the latest patch that said it fixed the clipboard / popup windows but still doing the same thing for me. (Note I have 3 monitor setup 3840 x 1024 - Clipboard on the right monitor).

He is prolly referring to the radio window that shows the names of the people in range and people on channel. I don't thing most people understand that you can move that window.
