Issue occurs when opening a workspace with certain parameter options, views will not have minimize or maximize buttons and the functions will be disabled in the view's top left windows menu.

In my limited testing this is workspace, dataset, and environment independent.

The target on the shortcut that I used to re-create this problem after fielding a call about it looked like this:
M:\Softrak\GVWIN\GVWin.exe /c /usys /psys /dH:\xxxxx /eSAM /w"H:\xxxxx\yyyyyyy.gvs"

The only modification I had to make to get the min/max functions disabled was to remove the /c. I’m not sure about which of the other parameters might matter, but with those ones on the target line the /c makes the difference for the min/max functionality.

Having the control over the edit permission for users through the /c parameter is vital for idiot-proofing shared views, adding /c to any target line where a user is experiencing this issue is not an acceptable work-around in the long term, and it's a reasonable expectation of users to be able to make use of those functions in a workspace with multiple views.
