Hello Martin,

YES.  Totally annoying (but I guess one *could* get used to it).  Meanwhile, 
try this hack:

[1] - Enter the keyboard combination Alt+Space Bar to open the system menu.
    - Type the letter "r" (this will reduce the size of the window that is 
apparently defined in the program, but you will probably want a larger window 
than that, so..

[2] - Enter the keyboard combination Alt+Space Bar to open the system menu.
    - Type the letter “s”
    - A double-headed "cross" pointer will appear.
    - To make the window larger/smaller, use the left/right and up/down arrow 
keys to resize the window to your liking.
    - Press “Enter” when done resizing.

With repeated use, we *may* get used to doing [1] and [2] fairly quickly.

Nevertheless, this one is a definite CON for "the List".

Hope this helps!
