RE: Weird frame/buffer interaction

[EXT-Broida, Michael P]

Hi!
        I was CC'd on the below message, and figured I'd
        throw my two cents in to cloud the issue.  <grin>

        I don't know what "magic resize" you're talking
        about.  My original post was about the fact that
        SOMETIMES I can drag a modebar down and it will
        compress several windows below it, but OTHER TIMES
        it will only compress the FIRST window below the
        bar then will STOP moving.  I can't see any kind
        of pattern on when it allow or disallows that
        resizing to occur.

        Hope that helps a bit.

                Thanks for looking at it, folks!
                        Mike
