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. **Defold version (REQUIRED):** - Version [1.6.3] But I had the same problem with the last one. **Platforms (REQUIRED):** - Platforms: Linux - OS: Manjaro (every thing updated). XFCE until January 10 KDE with Plasma. Same bug - Device: Desktop Ryzen 5 2600x with a radeon 570x from AMD until december, with a RTX 3060 12gb now same bug **Minimal repro case project (OPTIONAL):** Alway bug. Even with the default project template. **Logs (OPTIONAL):** Please provide relevant logs from engine, editor or build server.

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](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/7814) ---

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. ---
