While flying this weekend, I got lots of alerts for airspace and traffic. Normally, I don't use the "more" button, and the alert bar hugs the bottom of the screen (and I use portrait mode, if that makes a difference).

On my outbound leg, I did play with the "More" button to get add'l traffic details. Unfortunately, after the first time I used the "More" button, which increased the size of the alert window, all subsequent alerts appeared on the screen as if at the top of the expanded window.

In other words, it was as if my normal ~2 line alert that normally hugs the bottom of the screen moved up about 2 inches on the screen (I could see my moving map both above and below it).

This behavior persisted for the remainder of the flight, and even persisted after a poweroff / back on cycle.

Is this a bug? Is there a way to force the alert bar back to the bottom of the screen after choosing "More"?

Hmm. I don't think that's likely. I'm positive that all I did was click the "More" button in the lower left, and it expanded to fill the lower 1/4 or 1/3 of the screen (as expected). After that, clicking the Alert button would pop the bar up to that level. I never dragged nuthin'.

I appreciate the info on how to relocate the bar, though. I suspect that will solve my issue, and will try it at the next available opportunity.

I will say that I was having a lot of trouble with screen calibration that day. I wonder if that might be related. I went through probably 20 calibration cycles that didn't take...crosshairs kept jumping back to the middle and repeating the cycle instead of allowing me to save the new calibration. Had to reboot the box to break out of that cycle, then I'd try again a little later with the same results. Eventually got it to take the calibration after I got back down on the ground, but even then I had to chase the crosshairs around the screen twice to get it to save.
