Issues with window managers

There seems to be something that changes from one build to another with regard to support for window positioning with window managers such as UltraMon. These kinds of apps let you reposition/resize a window, typically tied to a hotkey. I've noticed that sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn't, and it depends on the particular build. It was working with build 9.1.0.4898. But, with the build I just got 9.1.0.4903, it no longer works. It's worked on other builds, but, I only started keeping track of working build #s recently, so that's all I have for you so far. :-)

r4901 changed the default dimensions of the export window, the database tree and some more. Probably this is it? However, I see no chance to fix that in UltraMon from the HeidiSQL side. Honestly that sounds like a bug in UltraMon, or? Please also have a look at the other builds on the download page.

HeidiSQL is the only application that I have problems with this with. The issue has something to do with the application receiving/processing window messages, not with regard to the size of it's windows, trees, etc. UltraMon and other programs like it, just use the windows SetWindowPos or similar function with a handle to the application's window to resize/reposition the window. When not working, Heidi just doesn't move/resize the window when told to externally. In builds where it's working, it just works.smileI will watch for a next build that it works with, and report that.

Update to this... build 4898 worked. Build 4903 did not. Build 4913 does again.
