High Granularity Setting May Cause Problems Moving Windows

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY
If the Granularity option in the Desktop section of Control Panel is set too high, windows that are moved may shake erratically in Program Manager. A high granularity setting can also result in the inability to move a window in Program Manager once it has been placed somewhere on the desktop.

MORE INFORMATION
Granularity defines the coarseness of an invisible grid that objects are placed upon on the desktop. This invisible grid could be compared to a piece of graph paper. Each intersection on the graph paper represents the point at which the window can rest. The larger the squares on the grid of the graph paper, the greater the jump the window must take between resting points. The Sizing Grid Granularity option has a range of 0 to 49. Setting the granularity to any number greater than zero can cause the window to jump when resized or moved, or may prevent it from being moved.

RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:


 * 1) Select Control Panel from the Main Group in Program Manager.
 * 2) Choose the Desktop icon.
 * 3) From the Sizing Grid section of the Desktop dialog box, reduce the number value representing Granularity.
