Re: Toolbar Buttons Too Wide

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

There is absolutely nothing you can do to avoid it. MS has always said that they could not "reproduce" the problem and thus they could not fix it. I usually see it when composing a long message and then going back to the main window, but it does seem to have a mind of its own.

Thanks.

I swore I exited OE and restarted before I asked my question, but maybe not. In any event, exiting and restarting after reading your post did the trick: it's back to "normal" now.

Is the cause of the bug is known; I mean in a way that would allow me to avoid it in the future?

That is a bug as old as OE and will never be fixed. Either close and
open OE, or grab the bottom of the toolbar with the double arrow
cursor and push it up and back down.

Suddenly, my OE6 toolbar buttons are so wide (over 2 inches) that
only half the buttons are visible without clicking the small double
arrows (>>) at the right end of the toolbar: all selected buttons
normally all fit fine. (Small icons are selected.)

I seem to remember seeing this problem several years ago, but have
forgotten what might be done, and can not find any posts in this
group covering the subject.

Is there a fix?
