Defold editor main window auto-resize when opening pop-up

Bugs
#1

I’m not sure if that’s a bug, but it’s weird

Describe the bug (REQUIRED)
When I code in the Defold software, some orders I give will open a pop-up (like the “new folders” or the “preferences” ones).
When the pop-up open, the main GUI resize to around one quarter (half length, half height), BUT the windows manager still think it’s full size : If I “maximize” the windows, the window goes ful screen, and immediately return to its one qiarter size.
After size, I can maximize it again.

To Reproduce (REQUIRED)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open Defold.
  2. maximize Defold window if not done.
  3. Use the click-right/new folder on a Assets element, or the Preference option in the File menu.
  4. Bug (?) : The GUI windows resize to 1/4 of my screen
  5. Close the pop-up.
  6. Re-maximize the screen, either by double-clicking on the window title bar or using the “maximise” option in its right click menu.
  7. Bug 2 (?) : The GUI window maximise, then immediately return to 1/4.

After that, I can maximise it again for good (or, at least, until I open a new pop-up.

Expected behaviour (REQUIRED)
The GUI window size doesn’t change when a pop-up open.

NB : The “one quarter of the screen size” if when I open Defold on my big screen. on the “little one”, the ratio is al ittle bigger.
Sorry, didn’t see that.

Thanks for the report, I added it to the github issue that tracks the problem: Creation dialog resize Defold main form. · Issue #7814 · defold/defold · GitHub

Oh, I didn’t see there was already a track.

Thank you.

I found a “workaround” : The main form doesn’t resize if I resize it manually to the full screen. It’s not exactly a “maximize”, but the main form doesn’t resize from that.
