Display not filled vertically

I am using a Dell U2711 monitor with 2560 x 1440 native resolution. I am running Windows 10, 6400, and latest SSDR. The software fills the display fully horizontally but only 85% vertically. I thought it did fill the screen previously; I could be mistaken.

Using an Nvidia GeForce 9800 with latest driver and dual link DVI connection. 

The background image on the desktop fully fills the screen .

Any ideas out there?

Well, the problem is that when SSDR ix maximized it does not fill the screen. It is set to start maximized.

Thanks Sergey. I have a couple more things to try. I'll report back if I find anything that may be useful to others.

Hi Geoff

I just tested this and I can see the same thing on a monitor that is 1600 x 1200 or 1920 x 1200, so you are not crazy.  :)

It does work as expected for me on 1920 x 1080.

Let me reach out to engineering.

That's reassuring!

Thanks Mike.

I have read a bit about Windows High DPI application programming.  This may have something to do with Per-Monitor (V2) DPI Awareness.

I have the same situation with my 27" AOC 1920x1080 wide-screen monitor, SSDR does not fill in the bottom 1/2" of the screen.  I don't remember when it started, whether with a W10 upgrade or the introduction of V.2x.  Guess I've just gotten used to it.

Engineering has recreated this and assigned Bug number 6901 to it.

After my comments about updating drivers, I tested opening SSDR again last night. Opened fine on my LG 34" widescreen display, but then when I minimized the window and tried to open maximize it again I ran into the same issue as Geoff. I cannot drag the program to fill the screen (about 1.5" at the bottom). I checked and the video drivers are up to date.
