I'm here to tell same problem after Creator update.
I have two monitors :
1.Widescreen 1920x1080
2. Old peace of sh***t 1280x1024

When I open brackets on second monitor and then drag to first and make it bigger than resolution of second monitor, Brackets is cropped like that : http://prntscr.com/f6i2eq

OS: Win10 pro 1703 build 15063.250

Brackets :sprint 9 build 1.9.0-17312 (release 189f6d39a)
build timestamp: Tue Mar 21 2017 10:29:45 GMT+0000

In electron there were also some problems related to hidpi monitors. I think they were mostly fixed by updating to a new version of Chrome.
Also they mentioned the dpiAware field present in the manifest to change from true to true/pm.
Maybe we should also change our appshell.exe.manifest file.

I'm having a similar issue. My laptop is 2560x1440 and my external display is 2560 x 1600 however if I open brackets on the laptop screen and move it to the external display it will not use more than ~%60 of the screen capital either when using "maximize" or by manually resizing.
If I then close Brackets and reopen it with the display connected, it seems to work normally.

I could repro this problem. Seems to be a bug related to DPI density. Monitor specs are: 1366x768 (1) and 1920x1080 (2). Also resizing due to the sticky sides left and right does not work either way.

Maybe Microsoft is the one to blame?

System specs:
Windows 10 Version 1703 (Creators Update)
Brackets Release 1.9 Build 1.9.0-17312 (release 189f6d39a)

Well, the problem only occurs, if the Brackets window is moved from a low resolution monitor to a high-res one.
If you exit Brackets while it's opened on the high-res monitor, there's no buggy window if it gets restarted and maximized. The other way round it is actually buggy.

Edit: fixed spelling

Still the same issue on Brackets Release 1.11, in the steps described in adobe/brackets#13349 (comment)

Something that wasn't mentioned is that the hidden parts of the UI on the bottom and right are still interactive (change tab/space and size, language picker, etc). It's just not visible.

System spec:
Microsoft Surface Pro 3, resolution: 2160 x 1440 with 150% scaling (default)
Dell U2410 external monitor, resolution: 1920 x 1200
Windows 10 Pro Version 1703
Brackets Release 1.11 build 1.11.0-17524 (release 86b5e2d4e)

The temporary solution is to open Brackets directly in the second monitor.
Create a shortcut in the second monitor's desktop and open it.

Same with scalling in windows.

I have monitors with same resolution (1920x1080) but different dimensions. First monitor is smaller so it is scalled to 125% in Windows. Second monitor is scalled at 100%. Same behavior as comments above. If I scale both monitors at same percentage, I don't have problems as both have same resolution. But that's not an option of course.

Same issue. Brackets opens fine on my Surface Book screen. When moved to the (lower resolution) second monitor, the right hand side of the interface is not visible.

@alymck We are working on fixing this. Apologies for the inconvenience. I would update this thread on the status as and when we make some progress.
