The mini view window is very large!

We tried a couple computers here and the window is the normal, small size.

I wonder what could be special?

I really don't know. I had v 93 installed and the mini view window was OK. I updated to v 99 and then 100 and suddenly the m.v. window was very large. It has apparently nothing to do with size percentage or fonts, because I changed them and tried different view sizes and fonts. Does any one else have this problem?

Which skin are you using?

Invoking the "Mini View" screen results in a corrupted display panel -but only if the MC Player window was in a Maximized state.  If the Player is not filling close to the entire screen then Mini View will display normally.  In the attached screen-cap I'm using a version of the Carbon skin, but the problem occurs with all skins.  All of the other Views display as expected, with only the Mini View having trouble in v20.0.100

I have reproduced this same problem on a 2nd machine:  My main computer runs Windows 8.0 64-bit, so I installed v20.0.99 on an older Windows 7 32-bit PC that had been running MC v20.0.84 and the same problem with the Mini-View display happened immediately.  The second attached screen-cap shows that Win7 computer using the "Blue Steel" skin in Mini View.

Next, I reverted to v20.0.93 (latest stable version) and the Mini-View screen returned to its normal behavior.  Nice.
Reinstalling v20.0.100 caused the corrupted Mini-View problem to return.  So this is a replicable problem.

Looking in the "C:\Users\---\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 20\Install\" folder showed previous installations:
v20.0.93  on 4/10/2015
v20.0.96  on 4/21/2015 at 10:16am
v20.0.99  on 4/21/2015 at 2:17pm

I installed v20.0.96 and observed the corrupted Mini-View.  This means that the problem is caused by changes made to MC revision .94, .95 or .96

Yesterday, after reading forum Post#1 on the .99 release page about the Font Size Initialization problems I decided to try some manipulations to see if there were also some screen sizing issues, and that's how I found this Mini View problem occurs only when it is switching from displaying a window that's in Maximized mode.  Hopefully this new clue will help to track down the bug.

That's the ticket!

Now if we can just figure out why that's happening.

Noire. I always start and keep MC maximized. When not maximized, the mini view window is OK!!!
