I just dowloaded 2.2 for Mac, and the Options screen cuts off about halfway through. The window can't be resized, either.

The upshot of all this is that you can't change most of the options, which renders LimeWire virtually unusable; you can't add servers, your bandwidth is permanently stuck at 0%, you can't change the max number of searches, you can't change the number of simultaneous downloads, etc. This is a real pain.

Anyone know how to fix this?

By the way, this problem also exists with the new Beta version of LimeWire for Mac, so no help there.

The only way to fix this is to have an upgrade. I've emailed about this bug twice and nothing's been done. Just when I start to really like Limewire they screw it up and don't listen to feedback for a while and then screw it up some other way when they fix the first problem...

same same problem ... last build didn't have this problem, and they encourage me to buy the pro version ... get the free version working and i'll buy pro ... as of now, i am dissatisfied.

Bought the Pro version - this problem still there.

Same here, I wrote twice about this in free limewire. Just paid for and downloaded New 2.3.1 LimeWire Pro and it still has problem.

I wish I had read this before I purchased the pro version! I'm having the same problem. Any word on if/when it might be fixed??? How frustrating!!!

Same problem here.
Apparently, Limewire is content with taking consumers' money and not bothering to spend about five minutes to fix bugs.
To heel with them, I say.
Limewire, you've lost a customer.

This bug slipped through because we are not able to reproduce it on our machines. I did, however, make a slight change in 2.3.1 that I hope has fixed the problem.

Do you guys still get this problem with LimeWire 2.3.1? Thanks, and our apologies for the frustration.

So, how do we force an update for Pro? I just downloaded it last week. I don't even know if I can get to the screen for updates in options. Is it possible to get a patch so that the problem can be repaired?

Have downloaded the new version and the problem still exists. This is my first posting...am not one of the posters above.
In the Options window, the window is cut off on the right side.
Say under the Uploads/Slots window...the window is cut off just to the right of the colons so the inputs are not seen therefore I do not have access to them. The same for every other options window. Looks about 2 inches are cutoff causing zero customization abilities.
I am running 9.1 on a G3 desktop.

LW 2.3.1 seems to have the same problem as 2.2.4?
As LW developers can't seem to duplicate this error could it be certain Mac OS, CPU speed,
available memory or heaven forbid an "extension" conflict?

I have NO problems with LW1.7 and use it (lately) for almost all of my downloads.

Options Windows are OK with LW 2.1.3 Pro....
my problem with LW 2.1.3 Pro is that the "connect" tab has NEVER worked to reconnect
after I've been disconnected.

I'm using OS 9.1 on a (old) 6360 Performa; 160MHz PowerPC 603e Processor; 80Mg ram;

I have LW 1.7; LW 2.1.3 Pro and LW 2.2.4 Pro installed

Perhaps, we ALL should give the LW developers more info on the systems being used
that have this Options Window problem with LimeWire.

For what it's worth, I've identified the problem and have a workaround. I'll leave it to the developers to fix it properly.

Basically, the format for most of the text in the Options box is taken from the Large System Font setting we each have made in the Appearance control panel. I'm assuming that most of us are using the original standard (Chicago) or one of the sexier new ones like Textile (my choice).

All but one of the choices available produces the overrun problem.

Set your Large System Font to Techno, and everything fits, because it's the skinniest of the choices available. It's also the least attractive from my point of view, but clearly the font of choice for the Mac LimeWire developers.

If the boxes were redone to accomodate the widest of the Large System Fonts (instead of the narrowest), then everything should be cool again.

Do you guys see any less cliping with 2.3.1 than you did with the earlier version?

I made another slight change for 2.3.2 that hopefully will solve it, but, again, I can't be sure given that we still have not been able to reproduce it.

Techno works for me!
LW 2.2.4 "Options Windows" are now useable!

Thank you Charles

Although, Techno is NOT my most favorite font.
