Actually, the problem is a little different. Some windows don't resize to larger sizes than the screen. (windows explorer is a good example.) Thus, When you try to resize them using that second grid element, they don't get the correct size, and don't get identified as being in grid 2 when you press win+left. If you try that with a window that does resize to a size larger than the screen (which is very rare, from what i can see), you'll notice that it does work as expected.
Thanks for your analysis. You are right on target. I can understand such a limitation for first time Windows users, but once you start using such a convenient software as GridMove, this limitation is quite annoying.
My idea was to make a grid to hide the top 10% of windows in order to hide the application bar and application menus, so as to enjoy increased visible working space. But the bottom position of the window also gets raised, so it does not make much sense anyway.
Can you do something about it in GridMove: can you force windows to resize the window with a greater height than the screen's height? (maybe there is such an option in your resize function, who knows?).
The fact that so many windows refuse to resize above a certain height makes me think that this is more a Windows thing than an application-by-application limitation. I wonder if there is a tweak in Windows that can remove this limitation? I investigated registry settings here: http://www.virtualplastic.net/html/desk_reg.html#metrics ; but could not find any parameter relative to maximum window height. Any help on how to remove the window-max-height limitation in XP is welcome !
