Print Preview Not retaining form size

edited July 2012 in General
Hi

Just installed RB 14.05

In previous versions if I re size the Preview window it has retained these
size values and uses these when next opened. On 14.05 the preview reverts
back to its original postage stamp size. I have made a video to illustrate
this...

Please advise how to retain size as this is important to our users - other
RB Forms retain their position - all but the Print Preview.

By the way I use the following line to redirect the rbuilder.ini using the
following....


ppDesigner1.IniStorageName := StrPas(winPath) + '\rbuilder.ini';

    Hi Philip,

    Which version of ReportBuilder are you upgrading from? I made a quick
    test with RB 12.05 and the preview form size was not saved between previews.

    It would be possible to save the preview form size once it is closed,
    then re-assign the size each time a report is previewed.

    Hi

    Re response below - can you illustrate how to do this instead a simple
    maximised setting.

    Hi Philip,

    You mentioned in your initial post that the preview form size was in
    fact saved in previous versions. Which version was this? I can check
    the old source and hopefully easily see where the change occurred.
