The problem with the figure shown below the bottom window border is that your FIG file seems to portrait mode where the figure is placed at the bottom of the sheet. With the example cb_it3.fig I can work around this issue here by calling xfig with the -geometry option to extend the window size (or by manually resizing the window). Except this Ctrl-Z is a great option to zoom into the figure and fit the image to the window size. About the gray zone: I can hardly reproduce this here. It may be depending on your screen size, maybe in combination with the window manager. I only saw this when I try to set the window size via xrdb in Xresources like this: Fig.geometry: 1300x1300+0+0 Then I see a grey area on the right of the layers and below the bottom menu, but when calling xfig on command line, it warns me that this is a bad idea: "Don't specify Fig.geometry in the resources. The xfig window may not appear correctly if this resource is specified." But I think, that this isn't exactly the behavior you observe. As far as I can see in the video, this doesn't happen on all FIG files, but only on some of them. Do the problematic files have some commonality? Greetings Roland
