Love the new Property Hieracrchy and ERC Freeze but....

So I downloaded 4.6.1.33 and have been making a morph. I love that I no longer have to remove ever morph from my morph folder except the one I'm working on in order to do an ERC freeze. The new speed is great and it didn't take too long to learn the new way of doing things. Such a wonderful improvement.

There's only one problem. When creating a new property the parameters menu is 956 vertical pixels and my monitor is only 768 vertical pixels. There is no scroll bar at the side of the menu to access the parameters that are off the screen. The only way I can use it is to switch my laptop display to portrait orientation and back again. Please fix this in a future release. Most laptops have a vertical resolution of only 768 so please put scroll bars on any menu that extends beyond that size.

Otherwise it's a great system. I like that I can now do everything all in one step.

    I'll second the request because portrait viewing is not an option with D/S for me on the laptop. Mouse won't work on it.

    I don't know if you will like this as a solution or not... I noticed the style (layout) you use is different than the one I use. I use Darkside, and my monitor is 1440 x 900. My create new property window pops up and all is visible. Additionally, I can resize it. When I tried Main Street, I had the same problem as you do, including the resize only working horizontally, but not vertically. Conversely, when I changed to Highway, I could resize the window again. So I am guessing that you have Main Street as your window style. Highway seems to look very similar to Main Street, so if that style is more visually appealing to you than Darkside, maybe you can try Highway and see if that helps you.

    I just tried the Highway and it won't resize here. It "jumps" when the arrows appear and one tries to drag it smaller. It'll jump down each time one touches the top but it's not resizing because as soon as one pulls the popup window to a higher position, it's the very same too tall a window.

    But yes, the Darkside works! Barely, but it's doable, esp if one auto-hides the system's taskbar [W7].

    Thanks.
