Using High Contrast Display Scheme Hides Part of Window

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you use a display scheme that causes the menu bar in a Windows- based program to wrap to more than one line, you may not be able to see the lower portion of the program's window.

For example, this behavior is noticeable if you run Microsoft Calculator in Standard view with the "High Contrast Black (extra large)" or "High Contrast White (extra large)" display scheme.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when a Windows-based program does not correctly compute the size of its dialog box window. For example, Calculator (Calc.exe) does not resize its window properly when a large menu font causes the menu bar to wrap to more than one line.

This problem may occur with any display scheme that sets the menu font size to a setting greater than 19.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem in Calculator, view the calculator in Scientific view, or use a different display scheme.

If you experience this problem in a program other than Calculator and using a different display scheme is not an option, contact the program's manufacturer for information about a possible workaround.
