This problem seems to occur only in specific situations, namely when the GUI language is set to a different one than the version of Windows.

For more details on what causes it, have a look at this post.

The cause was discovered only a few days ago and SDL promised to fix the problem quickly, most probably shortly after SR2.

Hi Ben

I'm sorry about the link, but the problem is that it leads to a post in the beta forum, to which you don't have access. I would have made a screenshot of it, but this is not feasible because it is a quite lengthy discussion that does not fit in a screenshot.

About the language: which display language do you use on your English Windows 10? Is it also English or is it Dutch. The problem is linked to the "list separator", which you can change in "Control Panel - Regional settings".

What you can also do as a workaround is to edit the file "Usersettings.xml" in "C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\12.0.0.0" as described here:

Walter!

Thanks for posting this. Very helpful!

This is what I found:

First I checked the Bounds delimiter in my UserSettings.xml file, and the comma is used, which you said is what it should be for Studio 2015, so I was initially disappointed.

Then I checked my Windows regional settings. This is what I found:

So although I am using the English version of Windows 10 Home and SDL Trados Studio 2015, I had the Region Format set to Dutch (Netherlands).

As soon as I set it to English (United States) and restarted Studio, the WINDOW SIZE STAYED THE SAME!

Now, obviously, I'll have to see whether changing the regional setting to English (United States) creates some other annoyance...

I hope this additional information may help someone else or perhaps help the Studio development team resolve the problem.

Thanks again for your help everyone! Now I'd really better get back to translating...:)
