Q: keyboard viewer will not re-size

HI,

I did something (not sure what) and the keyboard viewer has become huge. I cannot zoom it down to a reasonable size. What is the matter? Has anyone had this problem?

Thanks!

    First try clicking the Green resize button in the title bar. (Hover over it to see the colors).

     

    If the size doesn't change much, the viewer may have been manually resized.

     

    If so, move the cursor to one of the corners of the Keyboard Viewer window, and drag the corner (click hold and drag diagonally).  Odd that the cursor doesn't change from an arrow to a double arrow like for other windows, but the drag and resize still works.

    Yes!! The second solution worked! That is, I put the cursor in a corner, click hold and dragged diagonally, as you suggested. It worked and I was able to re-size the Keyboard Viewer to the size I like. As you say, it is odd that the cursor does not change once in the corner and dragging while click-holding.

    Thank you so much!

    It was also strange that my keyboard viewer jumped into extra large size in the first place ....

     

    BUT, thanks for pointing this out. It was not anywhere else I could find.
