axis window size

What distro are you using? What desktop environment?

A clean install off the live cd. I then took all the updates which brought me to linuxcnc 2.7.8 Distro is the standard wheezy from the live cd. The behavior of the screen was noted right after the install with nothing modified other than the updating. I just ran the axis mill SIM.

Worth noting, I did the live cd install because I had master 2.8 pre and it caused problems with the new NativeCAM so I did a clean install off the live cd and updated to the 2.7.8 latest release. Master 2.8 pre exibited the same video problem, identical.

Just noticed I didn't answer part of your question. The live cd is Debian 7 using XFCE desktop.

Here is a actual photo of the screen. A pic is worth a thousand words as they say.
It cuts the bottom axis line off also if I hide both the top and bottom menus.

Have you tried one of these options?

That worked ! I ended up setting it at 1650x1000 in the .axisrc file. I had problems for a while with .axisrc, it wouldn't let me create that file, it already existed but I couldn't find it. Apparently its a hidden file. I used the locate command and it found it but it did not show in file manager. I ended up doing a sudo mousepad and that opened the hidden file which I modified and saved to get the job done. Those instuctions should be updated to reflect that .axisrc is a hidden file so newcomers to linux like me don't run into problems.

Thanks
