I have noticed an undesirable behavior with .net winforms applications. I have a wide screen monitor rotated 90 degrees to the portrait orientation. When .net winforms applications display on it, the window appears, but it is all blank, white. I can fix the window by hitting ctrl-alt-delete and when the dialog comes up, hitting cancel, then the window will display properly. I have duplicated this on different monitors and video cards. I have seen this both with a home grown app and with the Windows Update screen. It does need to be a wide screen monitor, however. A "square" monitor rotated 90 degrees doesn't seem to have this issue. Has anyone else observed this? Is there a fix for it? Is it a known issue?
Your application is being started after the monitor rotate? Because I'm calling fowl on Microsoft here. I think their font stuff is all messed up and thats why.
