This is only a problem for vugraph operators using sub-notebook computers with a narrow (typically 16:9) screen. I use a Fujitsu Lifebook P1110 at the table which is an ideal size as it's compact size enables me to peer over the screen very easily to see the bids and plays. The problem I have is that when I "redeal" (which is how the operator advances to the next board) the pop-up window into which the operator needs to enter the next board number comes up too low to either enter the board number or click OK to the default. It would be useful if the pop-up appeared just a little bit higher (or even in the middle of the screen) so I don't have to grab the top of it, move it up, and then select the next board.

Also, as far as this forum is concerned, it may be useful to have a sub-forum for vugraph operators to share experiences, ideas, problems and techniques.

Fixed in 3.7.1 I think, but it is hard for me to test
since I do not have an appropriate computer. If you
wouldn't mind trying it and let me know if it is better
now I would appreciate it. You can update to 3.7.1 at:

I just tested it in 3.7.1. and it is now in a much more convenient position, just at the bottom of the chat bar on my machine. Thanks Fred.
