My native resolution is 1920x1200. Whenever I play DF this:

...happens.

The yellow box was added by me to show where the "invisible" borders are. The mouse cursor, and all of the UI boxes (chat/paper-doll etc.) cannot move past those yellow lines. Once in game, I am forced to select a low resolution, and then reselect my native resolution in order to remove those invisible borders. My placement of windows for the UI is not saved when I do this. Meaning that I have to completely reconfigure my UI every single time I play the game. Very, very, annoying. Also, as you can see from my screenshot, creating a character with this problem is essentially guesswork, as the menus are covering up the face.

I've had this problem since beta, and even after launch. I just reactivated after transfers being opened and see that this issue has not been resolved in this entire time. This leads me to believe that it is a rare occurrence. Anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it?

I have been submitting this as a bug report since beta to the devs and they've done nothing about it. Needless to say, having to set up my UI every time I play is not very fun.

I'm using an Nvidia GTX260 with drivers up to date. My monitor is a Samsung SyncMaster T260, also with the latest drivers.

Do the devs check this forum, or is this just here for other users to try and help each other out?

This is an easy fix that was figured out in beta.

Turn off nvidia desktop manager.

It seems to have worked! So far all I have to go on is the char select screen. I'll know for sure when I get to log into NA in a few hours. But thanks a lot man, I'm crossing my fingers.

This definitely seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks again. :D
