Hi,  
my Windows task bar is on the left of my screen when I maximize Ignition designer it places the window offset to the right, leaving a gap between my taskbar and designer but the right of the designer screen is off screen. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

PS, when I then hide the screen and re-show it’s positioned properly.

Are you using a resolution that is larger than what is supported by your monitor? I would look into that.

I kind of see what your talking about. You must have just changed where your task bar is located. Move the window over so you can click on the min/max button on the window. The window may go to a minimized view, now click it again to maximize it. It should now maximize and look correct.
