In a system with 8 files and a tabbed interface with all windows
maximised, I need 1 non-maximised window for writing letters regarding
the content of the window below.

Any time I create a new window, or select a window opened in advance,
that is not maximised, all other windows take on 'random' size and position.

The FM version is 7.04 on W2K

What could be a solution for this odd behaviour?

Gert,

Probably none.

A window is either maximized or it isn't. When maximized you see only the
top one, which is logical. But when you see a small window on top of another
window it just cant be maximized. Or it would hide the underlaying window.
So all open windows switch to windowed state.

The only solution coming near to what you want is scripting each change, and
committing new windows size and window position for each window. Which is
still not what you want and very cumbersome to set up.
