@DJSures Of late I have noticed that the EZ-Script controls are re-sizing themselves when I reload a project. I will set them to a certain (small) size and save. When the project is reloaded, they have become wider and are overlapping. This makes it difficult to structure the controls as I would like. Have they been programmed to some minimum and are disregarding the width to which they were set and saved if that width is below a certain limit?
Yup.

Yep, that´s it.
@WBS0001, is this the same problem as in this thread; https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/9033 or something different? Since I ensured my display setting were on 100% - I don't have that problem anymore.
So sad, http://news.kynosarges.org/2014/11/15/net-core-hype-vs-reality/
no graphics.
@bhouston It's possible that it is related to that problem. I have my display set to 100% as well. I still can get the problem described in that thread when opening someone else's project, but never on my own. This re-sizing the script controls to a wider size happens no matter what. And it is something relatively recent, so it could be related to some update modification. So far it is only the script control that does this for me. Other resizable controls don't do it, but that could be because I bring the script control down to such a small size.
For example: Looking in the .EZB file I see that the size to which I set one of the script controls is: <Width>141</Width> <Height>150</Height>
Then, of course, I save it.
When I reload it, the script control window is wider again, yet the numbers in the .EZB file are still the same (I also reloaded the .EZB file in my text reader to be sure I had the latest numbers).
If I then save it again at that point and look at the numbers, they are: <Width>174</Width> <Height>150</Height>
So it appears something is expanding the script control window to 174, regardless of what is in the .EZB file.
It does not appear to be expanding it so that the title will fully appear since it is still partially cut off even with the expansion.
Yeah, windows
I'll look into it and see what system level work around i can find for you.
After further investigation, controls resize based on the widgets within them. For example, if the script control is resized to be smaller than the size of the button, the next time it loads the script control will be resized to display the button.
This is desired behavior so controls are not resized to lose visibility of buttons and widgets, etc.
@DJSures I see. Thank you for the explanation. I guess that varies somewhat from one control to another and applies primarily to the width. The Camera Control, for example, can be made small enough in height to hide all of it's sliders and some of it's buttons, but width-wise it won't go narrower than the width of the sliders and it's buttons. And it will stay that way between loadings.
If I may make a suggestion, it would be good if the Script control was like that. Not allowed to go below whatever the widgets they contain indicate the min. width it must be. This, as opposed to how it is now with it being allowed to be sized smaller than that and re-sizing itself on the next loading.
Thanks again.
