You don't get an up and down arrow - combined into one - when you slowly move your mouse over the border between the fields? You know.. like the one that appears when you put your mouse on the task bar and slowly move it up to this screen?

First of all, thank you all for you quick answers.
Here is some additionnal info :

ickymay, this is not a Java app, this is a compiled .exe file developped in C++
Drew, these are my display settings :
Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display : there is Smaller - 100% selected
Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display : Custom DPI Setting is set to 100%
Control Panel > Appearance and Personalization > Display > Screen Resolution : is set to 1680 x 1050
tblount, I can't resize the bottom part of the application to have it with height increased

Check this new printscreen , I resized the window, the bottom part gets no scrollbar and always take the same space.
I also cannot select all the text to force viewing everything.
What is troubling me is that my colleague has the same OS, same application version, only the laptop is different, and he gots the good display.
Any other idea ?

I'm still convinced he has got to be putting his mouse just above "properties" - beside usage - and clicking and dragging the window up - or down. If not, then I don't understand what's trying to be accomplished here.

Can we get a print of his, so we can see what you want? Perhaps use paint and put a mark on the line you want moved. And put them side by side... or one over the other.

"I currently have a big question about display on Windows 7."

I just hate it when I can't resolve a big question.

Gezz... all this time I was thinking that a WINDOW in the application was incorrectly positioned. I didn't realize it was a font size issue. There must be a setting inside the program. Do this to verify it's in the software and not windows 7.

Over your clock is a magnifying glass with 100% ..or something %... click on it and see if anything changes within your application. If so... then it's fixed. If not, then you got to dig inside the customize settings of the application itself.

I am sure at 200% that it is not an application setting.
Trust me

Click to expand...

Did it change when you changed windows resolution? If not it's in the software application.

Could be somewhere hardcoded but no setting.
Thanks anyway for your help.
