Hi Selwyn I think I know what you mean - I had a similar problem with it, so I know what you're describing. However I'm not sure what I did to make it work properly. I usually reduce the size of the image using the 'maximize/minimize' button, then just pull the sides out. I can then have everything I want on the screen at the same time, even if they are in layers; I just place them so they are not all completely on top of one another. Hope this helps.
