Civil 3D 2021 - auto-resizing workspace/layout tabs in hi-resolution

[mmcauliff]

I'm having an annoying issue with civil 3D 2021. When switching between paper and model space while in a layout tab, c3d adds an extra row at the bottom of the screen which cases the entire workspace to auto-resize itself.

See screenshots below of the "extra black space" at the bottom of the screen that's added when I switch between paper/model.

This only seems to happen on my larger monitor which is running at 3840 X 2160 resolution with 150% text scale and doesn't happen when C3D is on my secondary monitor (1920x1080). The resizing/extra row also does NOT occur with C3D 2019.

Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround? It's not preventing me from working, but it's INCREDIBLY annoying. I don't care if that extra space is there, it's the fact that it keeps switching back and forth and resizing my work space.

System specs:

Windows 10 pro 64-bit

Intel i7 7700K @ 4.20GHz

16.0 GB RAM

NVidia GeForce GTX 1070

main monitor: 3840 x 2160

monitor 2: 1920 x 1080

Just curious, if you set STATUSBARAUTOWRAP to OFF, does that help?

turning it off seems to have fixed the issue! Thank you!
