VERSION: 2024.6.4
PLATFORM: win32 (Windows 10)
MACHINE ID: 7e2d63fa8f17d1e1fd95a4a40e2e8588ea35be4135c06d039403a71cd8e52231

I have recently gained a 43 inch 4K monitor (yes, it's a redundant TV) . Whenever I open Plottr ,it uses the same arbitrary window size which fills most of the screen and is far too large to be useful. I have to shrink it down to a more sensible size, but that size never "sticks". Every time I start Plottr, open a project, or switch projects it goes back to the same annoying window size.

Well-behaved Windows applications remember their previous window size. Try it with your favourite browser or editor.

This problem may also happen on other platforms. I haven't tested them.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. open Plottr on a PC with a large, high-resolution monitor.
  2. observe that the initial dashboard opens in a ridiculously large window
  3. adjust the initial window to a more reasonable size
  4. select a project
  5. observe that the project opens in a ridiculously large window
  6. adjust the project window to a more reasonable size
  7. close the project window
  8. open the same project again
  9. observe that it is back to the ridiculously large window
  10. get cross with Plottr
