SYMPTOMS
Explorer Bars don't resize problem when auto-hiding in Internet Explorer's full screen mode.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This bug was corrected in Internet Explorer 5.01.



Steps to Reproduce Behavior
 Use the instructions located at

http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdn-online/workshop/browser/ext/tutorials/explorer.asp

to create and register a custom vertical Explorer Bar for Microsoft Internet Explorer. Start Internet Explorer. From the View menu, select Explorer Bar. Select the newly registered Explorer Bar. The vertical Explorer Bar should appear in the left pane and be the size specified by using the instructions. Press F11 key, or select Full Screen from Internet Explorer's View menu. Internet Explorer should expand to fill the entire screen and a small, depressed "push pin" icon should appear in the heading bar for the left pane. Click the "push pin" icon so that it is not depressed. Move the cursor to the right pane and wait a few seconds. The left pane should auto-hide by sliding to the left and off the screen. Move the cursor to the far left edge of the screen. The custom Explorer Bar that was auto-hidden should reappear, but instead of regaining its previous width, it will now occupy a small, narrow pane on the left side of the screen. It can be resized.
