    A problem with the Manage Attachment window

    I have found the trouble with the Manage Attachment window while trying to use it for uploading. Its layout looks like a mess. There is a problem with adjusting to the window size methinks. It looks fine while the window is the large type. Anybody else...? Please check on that.

    Supermarine 224 production a help or a hindrance
