Summary	0000250: Rendering window is not sized to the size of the main window when creating a new document with Windows OS.
Description	I just installed 3915 windows 32bit version, and when I create a new document after FreeCAD has started, the created (blue rendering) window is smaller that the main window. I have to resize the main window to have it updated to the big size.
Tags	No tags attached.

myier 2011-01-25 17:39 reporter ~0000548	Done. Look at the bottom and the right of the rendering.

wmayer 2011-01-25 21:24 administrator ~0000549	I guess this is a further problem with your OpenGL driver. Anybody else out there who has the same problem but with a functioning driver?

~~Jriegel~~ 2011-01-26 11:13 administrator ~0000550	Mhh, thats an extreme Monitor resolution. I think you need a dual port display for that (DVI can only do 1900x1200 as I know). Looks for me the Gl driver can not open a Window that big...

myier 2011-01-26 17:28 reporter ~0000558	The size of the window is just a problem on initialization, if I resize it manually, the rendering is automatically extented to the full size of the window. And it is properly rendered, so I guess it means the GL is working. But you're right, the card needs two gpu to display it I think, although there is only one DVI cable connected to it.

yorik 2011-11-24 01:13 administrator ~0001347	Is this still an issue?

myier 2011-11-28 10:41 reporter ~0001367	Yes. Same thing, when I resize the window the blue panel gets maximized in the window. That's not important and probably related to my lame graphic setup.

wmayer 2015-01-06 11:26 administrator ~0005532	I have here a monitor of almost the same resolution: 2560x1440 and there it works as expected. So, it is related to your driver and I close this ticket as "not fixable".
