That's good, it sounds like you are on the right track now, at least. If FileBox eXtender is capable of affecting the height of a standard dialog in weird ways when it's turned on, it's certainly capable of the rest of the behaviour you are seeing here.

I'm pretty sure utilities like FileBox eXtender usually hook windows API and do other low level trickery to achieve their effect. Just like is often said about virus checkers on this list, turning these things off is often not sufficient to disable them. This is likely to be becuse the hooking or filtering or service creation is an expensive operation, so they find it easier for a "turn off" to leave it enabled but return immediately when the functionality is called.

This doesn't mean that the Stefan will be able to fix it, or that there is anything to fix in TSVN at all. But at least you will have a reproduction recipe.

First, thanks for helping me out!

I uninstalled FileBox Extender and rebooted: the warning window still takes the entire screen.
After that, I tried to repair TSVN (running the installer again), then rebooted: issue still there.
To make sure, one more time, I removed build 18701, rebooted, re-installed 18415, rebooted: the issue is gone. I reinstalled FileBox Extender, and version 18415 still works just fine.

I don't know if we can do something about it, and I don't know what other dialogs maybe broken, but it sure looks like a recent code change is part of the issue (the other part may still be my system).
