Sonar Console View - is always a bit shorter regardless of how I save it

Hi guys,
This is probably a stupid question - but I've had Sonar split across 2 monitors for years, teh console view on one and track view on the other.  For some reason, whenever opening a project, the console view is always a half inch shorter than how I saved it, leaving about a half inch of unused space at the top and I can't see the very bottom of the console view (the track number) as a result.
 
I've had this issue forever (it's not new with X1).  Any idea of what I'm doing wrong here?  Also noteworthy to mention, I'm running  a Mackie Universal Conrol.  I'm running X1b 64 on Win 7 64.
 
Thanks!
Russ

    I have exactly the same problem.  It didn't happen with Sonar 6.  But now, I have to expand the CV every time I open a project.

    i have the same problem. i open a project and the CV is short vertically, so i drag it up. ok. now i switch to another screenset, then go back to the first one, or close and open the proj, it's back to being short.

    Are you saving and then locking the current Screenset? Just a thought.

    Locking and/or saving the screenset does not work - I experience the same problem.

    I suggest the previous posters check out multi-monitor utilities like Ultramon or Multimon.

    I have the same problem even on a single window.

    Same here. Very annoying problem. It has to be a bug. Personally, I'm not impressed with the new screensets implementation at all in X1. I had less problems with saved views bound to hotkeys back in the earlier versions.

    +1  - The previous views were very configurable and faster, and more reliable than the much-touted new screensets which are exactly the same thing only with a new name and slower, less flexible implementation.  It's such a relief to open 8.5 and have instant reaction to the views I want, easily dragging borders on the fly as needed.  And, apropos to the thread topic, the Console in previous Sonars always opened exactly as I left it.

    Ok - thanks for all the responses.  Since it clearly isn't just me (whew!), I'll goahead and place a support / potential bug ticket on it.
