Not sure why placing the stack slot off screen would affect it. Unless maybe it has something to do with Windows' internal snap to edge feature.

3 pixels is fairly small, but the change was to allow anything less than that... so if SAT detects that somehow the GG table has changed size within 3 pixels either direction, SAT now ignores that and doesn't try to resize it back.

What i'd like you to do is this.. click File->Current Layout, and add this line underneath [settings]:

Code:
[settings]
logging=1

Save the file, and then click Save on the Layout tab so that SAT reopens. Press Start, and wait for the GG resizing issue to start happening. Let it happen a few times until the FAILURE RESIZING error shows. Then press Stop. Don't press Start again, because that will overwrite the logfile

Then go to this folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\StackAndTile\

and you should see the "logg.txt" file in that folder. Send me that file to: support(at)stackandtile(dot)com

Same resizing problem. Even with tiled tables that appear to be perfectly aligned it happens.

I think I have found a workaround though. It appears that placing my stack slot partially off the right hand side of my screen, drastically reduces the chance of it happening for whatever reason, as long as the tables remain stacked. As soon as I allow them to stay in the grid for a few minutes, SaT tries to resize them. 

Surely I would notice a 3 pixel change in size while I'm staring at the table?

Did not work how? The same GG resizing problem, or other problems?

What SAT does is, when it first finds a new table, it tries to resize it to the same size that was used during Include Site setup. Usually this works fine. Then, while SAT is running, it keeps checking to make sure that the tables are the same size. If it notices that the tables are a different size, such as if you accidentally resized one with your mouse, then SAT simply tries to resize it back again. Since that is whats happening, then somehow the GG tables are changing size mid-session, and SAT is trying to resize them back.

Its possible that the GG tables are somehow changing size very imperceptively. We could determine if thats the case by turning on the logging and checking the log file. But I'm releasing new version 2.99.10 right now, and it includes a 3 pixel grace for GG network, so lets see if that helps

If SAT is resizing tables like that, it means that somehow the tables have already been resized, and SAT is simply trying to put them back to the SAT size. For example, if you ever accidentally resize a table with your mouse while SAT is running, SAT will detect that and resize the table back. Do you think there could be any reason that the GG tables would be changing size?

Well the problem is that SAT depends on the certain table size in order to know the correct locations to check for the action buttons and hotkey clicks and things like that. So its pretty important that SAT knows what size the table is. I am going to create an exception in the next version, so that SAT will not try to resize the GG tables if the table size is within 3 pixels of the expected size. Maybe this will help alleviate the problem some

I see. Okay ty!

Its tough as long as GG forces me to move the mouse to drag and resize. I will look into ways to try to make this better but I cant promise
