Happens all the time to me as well, with all plans I've got (all created with v2 from scratch). I cannot recall for how long it's been doing this, but I'd say that at least the last half dozen beta versions have been affected, perhaps even more.<br>
<br>The problem appears on initial program load only. Once the first opened plan has been properly maximized by cycling normal/maximize, as Richard described, a second plan opens in a properly maximized window right away. Works the same way even if no first plan is loaded, i.e. if Untitled is brought up.<br>
<br>I run WinXP SP3 32bit, and I always thought this may be a cross-interaction with the UltraMon multi-monitor manager program. There are other issues with UltraMon, such as if I use UltraMon's window move button to send AstroPlanner to "another" monitor, it goes there, but refuses to maximize properly on that (larger) monitor, instead just cycling between two partial-screen sizes when I click normal/maximize. If I move it back to the "first" monitor, I can cycle between normal and maximized okay. Some graphics drivers, most notably Nvidia, have similar multi-monitor management capability, and may be the issue.<br>
