My EWB2 application resizes appropriately. However, ShowMessage appears centred on the right edge of the viewport and not in the centre of the browser window. I tried adjusting Application.Surface with no effect. I can get around this by using a form instead with some code such as:

 FormAbt.Left := Round(Application.Viewport.Width/2 - FormAbt.Width/2);
 FormAbt.Top := Round(Application.Viewport.Height/2- FormAbt.Height/2);

I would appreciate advice on how to resolve this issue with ShowMessage.

I'm having the same problem.  Message dialogs are displaying below the bottom of the screen.  Only the top half of the dialog is visible.

Yes, I have the same problem as before when trying a MessageDlg (i.e., dialog is centred on the right edge of the viewport. Also, when loading the output from a live server, error messages are similarly affected. I presume this has something to do with layouts, but I cannot see where to fix it.

Did you adjust the size/layout of the Application.Surface ?  Message dialogs
are placed relative to the application surface, because they are children of
it.

In the end the problem was not due to a setting of Application.Surface. It was caused by the main form Layout.Consumption property being set to lcRight and was resolved when this was changed to lcNone. I guess Steve's problem above is caused by the property being set to lcBottom.

Yes, this should have been mentioned more prominently in the manual.  You
absolutely *do not* want to use a layout consumption with forms, unless you
really want to limit the layout space for subsequent forms on the
application surface (which is normally "never").

Thanks Tim and StewCam, I did have the form consumption set to lcBottom. I changed it to lcNone and it now works as advertised.

I know that you're now using the browser scrollbars, but there was one other
little bug in the scrollbar handling for the application surface:  the
bounds determination for the scrolling was using hidden controls/forms in
its calculation.  This will be fixed in the next build/minor release.
