RE: [udig-devel] Strange Behaviour WRT ESRI WMS Server

Well, the desktop resolution on my linux machine 1920x1200. 
Will try running uDig in a smaller window and see if that changes
anything.

Paul is correct that the server does not like the width of the request 
to be larger than around 1270 pixels.  Perhaps on windows the 
combination of your resolution and pixel width of your map is less than 
~1275 and on linux it is greater?  If you make the uDig window much 
smaller on Linux is the request successful?

Cheers,
Cory.
