Why is there no resize cursor on the top edge of the Power BI desktop window?

Hello everyone,

 

I don't know if it is just me or that Powel BI Desktop does not show the resize cursor on the top edge so that I can adjust the height of the window.

 

Is this normal behaviour or bug?

Looks like Microsoft has fixed this issue in the latest Power BI Desktop.

Hi @BenBlackswan ,

 

It's normal, it's a design behavior. You can adjust the height on the bottom edge, the width on the left or right edge, and double-clicking on the top edge will maximize the page.

But how is this suppose to be a "feature"?? This is like the most basic requirement, no one should be requesting it.

 

Name one other software (from Microsoft or not) that does not let you resize the window from the top edge?

Hi @BenBlackswan ,

 

I apologize for misunderstanding your point. This issue has been submitted internally. Please be patient to wait for fixing. If there is any news, I will update it here.

When you put the mouse cursor on the bottom edge of Power Bi window, you get the double headed arrow like this

But when you put on the top of Power BI window, you don't get that double headed arrow to adjust the size of the window.

Thank you, but I still would like to know if there is possibilty to get the top edge so I can adjust the height without changing the width of the window (which happens with corner size change), also I want to double click the double arrow so that it will maximum the height to fill my screen space vertically. I can not do that with corner.
