When using EmEditor on more than one computer (e.g., usb stick settings used at work and home for one user) the output bar has problems when used on a screen with lower resolution.

The problem is, on a lower-resolution screen, the top of the output bar does not appear within the visible portion of the screen, and there is no way to make it smaller because the mouse cursor cannot reach it.

Is there a way to change the output bar size with the keyboard alone?

If not, is there a way to change the settings for the size of the output bar?

I am not sure exacly what the issue is. What is the resolution of the screen?
Do you want the function bar smaller?

Greetings Yutaka,

Here are the screen resolutions:
screen one: 1280 by 1024
screen two: 1024 by 768

Here is a step by step description to explain the issue:

– start up your computer and open up EmEditor
– resize EmEditor so it takes up the entire screen

– create a script file that outputs a long list of results
(e.g., try a ruby script –> 500.times{ puts “hello world” })
– run the script file in EmEditor, and make the output go to the
output bar.
– notice how EmEditor looks when you get the results, if you have
enough space, you will be able to see the output bar and resize
it using the mouse.

– now, close the output bar and resize EmEditor window so it only takes
up 10\% of the screen. Then, run the same ruby script again, sending
the output to the output bar again.

– notice: this time, the top of the output bar is not visible. All that
can be seen is the output itself (the buffer tabs are now hidden
beneath).

– It is possible to close the output bar using the ESCAPE key, but it
is now not possible to resize the output bar to make the buffer
tabs visible. The only way to deal with this is to resize the
EmEditor window.

The problem is, you cannot resize the EmEditor window if you have
changed to a screen with a smaller resolution. (e.g, you started the
document on your work computer, but you change to a different
machine with a smaller screen or a laptop).

Thank you for taking a moment to respond at this time, best wishes to you.
