Topic: Edit Attribute Dialog box launches extra large

[jlogan02]

I have this snippet code

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (setq att1
2.         (ssget "_X"
3.                 '((0 . "INSERT")
4.                  (66 . 1)
5.                  (2 . "TBLK_ATT_CTL")
6.                 )
7.         ) ;; end SSGET
8.   )(command "._ddatte" att1 "");;start attribute edit

that for some reason launches the Edit Attribute dialog box extra large. It does this on my puter only. Not any one else's.
This snippet is a small portion of a larger code. To test, I copied just this bit out and ran it separately. It still launches the dialog box large.
It resizes once you move the dialog box, but only then.

Just test if the ddatte command at the command line results in the same size dialog. Yes, it does.
"ATE" shortcut does too.

Just a shot in the dark..

Have you modified the base.dcl or acad.dcl files? If so update these files from another computer that displays the dialog box correctly.

So what is the question here?

[jlogan02]

Why is my dialog box so big? Why does it get reset to the correct size with a move?

Sorry if I wasn't clear.

Upgrade to 2018 resulted in the same thing only better. At least I think so.

This dialog shows the entire attribute. It might be cumbersome if there are more though. I'm gonna test that theory.
