Thankyou very much indeed, that is exactly the answer I was looking for:
very glad indeed to know it was "not me" :)

I have a Retina display, I downloaded your app and it's as Roger deduced:
If, via System Preferences -> Displays I change my usual setting of
'More Space' to 'Larger Text' the Retina Display is effectively turned
into a 1024 x 640 display; you App is magnified and doesn't fit and it
can't be made to. If I select the next setting up, it's effectively a
1280 x 800 display and still your App doesn't fit. Any setting from
'Default' up to the full resolution of 'More Space' handles your app
just fine.
That should help Artie but I tend to agree with Roger. If you are
catering for people like yourself, who may hold onto computers until
they actually die (the computer, not the user;-) then a height no
taller than 756 px should reduce your support calls.

I have no access to a retina screen, so would be grateful if anyone who has
would go to the MacUpdate website and
download my "CHAR REF" standalone and see what happens.

My application is 728 high. This covers 99% of users. I know that you’re
not releasing it for Windows, but there are Windows users with 11” screens.
If the OS reports screen resolution < 800 I hide the Taskbar as well.

Hi Roger,
I think you have hit upon the real problem,
and the correct solution. If he is looking at
his Mac at a resolution of either 1024 x 640
or 1280 by 800 then Richmond’s app wouldn’t
fit at all properly on the screen.
For my everyday use I usually have my screen
set to 1280 by 800 because I don’t like
the small text. When I work on an app
I always switch to 1920 by 1200.
Good catch!
Rick
That sounds like the answer

Is it possible that "Artie" has his display set to a lower resolution to
compensate for vision impairment?

I pumped out a 32-bit Mac standalone from my Char Ref stack and
released it through MacUpdate as a freebie, and have had a series of
e-mails from
someone called "Artie" who says that the standalone (886 pixels high)
won't fit on his
Mac Laptop that has a screen res of 2880 x 1880.
This seems odd to say the least.
