I've noted the same behavior on several platforms/OS's . . . although the common factor for me has been ATI graphics.

Hi Jeff -
Actually, I experience the same/similar problem already for some time (if I recall correctly it turned up around the time I was in Boulder last June, might be I even showed it to you). When I restore from full screen I get a completely empty display. My work around is to reset width/height to values similar to the original display and do "Full Screen" again. This always works even if repeated over and over.
Originally I thought it would be a problem of the ATI graphic card (under Linux) that has produced other problems in the past and currently (spider web maps). But it occurs also on my Vista notebook with a Mobile Intel chipset. So, most probably it is not primarily a hardware/driver problem. 

cheers, HP

HansPeter,
I was able to get the display to set, as you describe below. But for version 2.8b your second instructions should properly read: 

View>Properties>set width & height>OK
View>Full Screen
However, if I try View>Restore Full Screen, IDV completely loses the Map View. Is this the right result? 

Hi Murray,
That is not the expected result. What platform are you running on? Is the gui are where the map view should be just blank? Can you try to resize the window and/or force a repaint to see if its there?
