      I did a short video (I'm a terrible typist) better to see than explain for me.

        Walt, I get a message indicating there's nothing to see or I don't have access to your image/video. Is there a share setting you need to set?

              Picture is indeed worth a thousand words. So you're having trouble getting the the tabs into the title bar area. I just tried that and they go there just fine on my computer. I wonder why not on yours.

                  Really not sure they were fine for the longest time using SU just wondered if others had that happen.
                  This is a great forum.

                    Well I got it figured out and thought I should share in case someone else finds this puzzling. The layers, entity info, materials, components and etc. must have different behavior or coded different than Model info and Preferences dialog boxes one because they collapse (great idea on the SU people). When multiple monitors are used like mine, laptop being 1024x768 and wide screen second monitor is 1600x900 for watching movies and games or SU. The screens have to be 768 pixel or lower, any higher than that and those tabs will not move to the top or bottom of the screen that is more than 768 pixel.

                    If in the Windows XP Display Properties settings tab the monitor that is 900 pixels aligns with top of the 768 pixel monitor the tabs will go to the top of the screen but not to bottom, vise versa if they align at the bottom the tabs will go to the bottom but not to the top.

                    I don't know if that's clear to anyone but I spent two days on this and that's what I found to be true.
                    Dave thanks for your imput

                      Hi Walt, I'm glad you got it sorted out. I'm not sure about the monitor resolution thing, though. My primary monitor is 1200 high (1900 wide) and my secondary is also 1200 (by 1600 wide).

                        WOW those are some big screens. So maybe it's not restricted to 768 like I thought maybe they just have to be the same height. I don't know but thanks for your help once again.

                          I don't know. Maybe they do have to be the same height. Those happen to be the native dimensions of my screens.
