Describe the bug

When dragging the window out of being maximized it will on occasion resize itself to far, far beyond the size of the screen and slow down the system at times rendering it inoperable without a hard reset.

Expected Behavior

Window resizes to previous unmaximized size.

Additional Information

Unable to reliably replicate due to it being seemingly random. FreeTube does not crash. I have not encountered anything like this in any other application/software. This was also present in FreeTube versions 0.19.2 Beta and 0.20.0 Beta

I am unable to do much beyond trying to resize or close it at that point. I have an odd dual monitor setup if this information helps: screen 1 is 2560x1600 at 150% scaling, secondary; screen 2 is 1360x768 at 100% scaling, primary.

Nightly Build

• I have encountered this bug in the latest nightly build.

Same here. I often drag windows between monitors (primary: 1080p 100% scaling/secondary: 1440p 125% scaling). Sometimes when I drag the FreeTube window stretches far beyond what my monitor can display, but I can stretch it back. I can't seem to replicate this easily. The issue does cause noticeable slowdown of my PC. Thanks team.

I am experiencing this issue as well. I have to take a minute or two to shrink the window back down (bit by bit). Like others have said, it impacts the performance of my system otherwise and makes FreeTube unusable.

Built-in display: 2880x1920 (200% scale)
External monitor 1: 2560x1440 (125% scale)
External monitor 2: 2560x1440 (125% scale)

I am using a laptop, so I wonder if connecting and disconnecting the external displays has an impact on this. It seems to happen more over time than after certain steps.

Not sure if this is the same issue, but something similar happens to me with two monitors every time I start the program if the window was on the scaled screen (1080p at 125% scale, versus 1080p at 100% scale where it works fine). The size is the same as it was relative to the larger screen rather than the smaller one, though it starts on the smaller screen.

To go along with what @deepspaceaxolotl said, I found steps that reliably reproduce this issue.

1. Open Freetube. Take note of the "base" (non-maximized) size of the window.
2. Move to a high DPI display (with high scaling), if not there already.
3. Close Freetube.
4. Open Freetube again (it should open on the high DPI display).
5. Note that the "base" size has increased.

In short, it seems that every time Freetube is opened on a high DPI (high scaling) display, the window size expands.

As these steps are repeated, the "base" size of the window will continue to grow larger and larger. It seems to grow in percentages. The first or second time will only increase the window size by a relatively small amount. By the fourth or fifth time, the window grows so big that things begin to break.

It is easy to see how this becomes an issue over time.
