Dialog is sized as percentage of current window #1457

Closed dmitriyyepishin closed 6 years ago

The docs state that the width parameter "Defines the width of the dialog box as a percentage of the current display." However, actually, the dialog is sized as percentage of the currently active window, not current display.

@dmitriyyepishin I know that what the documentation says was true at one time. In fact, I have an old screen shot with the dialog larger than the host application (which was Word). I will investigate. It might be that behavior varies with the platform (or, less likely, the host). I was using desktop (Click-to-Run, Office 365) Word. Are using desktop Excel or Excel Online? Also, of course, it is possible that Script Lab is dynamically setting the width and height at runtime in a way that disguises the default behavior. I am inquiring with the product team, but in the meantime could you please test with an add-in of your own, instead of Script Lab?
