 Replying to [comment:74 joebt]:
 > Tor browser is again starting w/ part of the browser toolbar and window
 sizing buttons off the monitor.  By default, TBB starts in a partial
 screen mode.  The only way to access the hidden window resizing buttons is
 to grab the bottom edge of browser window & drag it up some.
 >
 > Then the top of browser screen automatically "lowers" a bit, where the
 resizing buttons are visible.

 > I'm fairly sure this is due to setting my Windows DPI to greater than
 default (96).  For a while, it was set at system default size & there was
 no issue w/ starting TBB UI height.  As soon as I changed the Windows DPI
 to > 96, the TBB opening size was once again too long.

 > I checked a clean install of TBB 3.6.2 in new folder (no addons,
 plugins) - still showed the opening screen height problem.

 This problem is fixed with the latest version of Torbutton 1.6.11.1.
 Download it from the ticket attachments and put it in the Tor
 Browser\Data\Browser\profile.default\extensions folder.
