Hi

I have just downloaded 3.0.10 and am running it under a trial registration.

All my settings are default out of the box.

I am using WinMerge 2.12.4.0 to compare two code files. My screen layout is two monitors in portrait with the WinMerge window stretched across both screens so that there is one code file on each monitor. On the right pane the code does not display and simply displays what was painted on the screen before. Typically the right pane will be on the secondary monitor, but this effect occurs when the right pane is on the primary monitor. Conversely the left code pane always displays correctly on either monitor.

When I maximise the WinMerge window to fit one screen (using the Windows maximise button), the right pane is painted correctly.

This problem did not occur before installing UltraMon, so I am fairly sure that the introduction of UltraMon to the system is key.

I am using WindowsXP SP3.

System information taken from UltraMon About...

I hope I have provided enough information.

Thanks

So far I haven't been able to reproduce this issue, I tested with UltraMon 3.0.10 and WinMerge 2.12.4 on 32-bit Windows XP SP3. Scrolling through the files worked fine, no drawing problems.

To check if the issue is related to UltraMon, try if you still have the problem without UltraMon running or installed.

Hmm it appears one restart later this problem is no longer. Makes it hard to reproduce!

Anyway, I'm happy.

Thanks for the product.
