@Steve,
Thanks. I can supply a screen grab as evidence if required. "49 into vertical does not fit" was fully understood before I started the project. It's the horizontal behaviour that I was querying.

Yes, me too. Thanks for the offer but I don't think that'll be required as the problem is pretty obvious when you look for it.

This arbitrary behavior is somehow bad and not according to good programming style (sorry).

Sliders/Scrollbars should only be shown when there is something to scoll.

Furthermore I observed (similar to PGA) also space (lots of it!) beyond the end of the current track (I have only one track loaded).

This is also not usual. Why is there additional space added?

Horizontal space at the end of the track can be useful in several situations. For example if you have imported a number of songs from different files and you want to line them up end to end then you will need to be able to slide one track beyond the end of the previous track.

Even after I click "Fit in Window" both scrollars stay alive.

Ok, the vertical scrollbar is buggy.

But why is there so much empty space AFTER the currently loaded song?

See attached snapshot

Further bug: Even after a "Fit to window" there is still some unused, useless, confusing grey desktop area.

How do I really fit vertical window?
