What’s the bug you’re trying to show? My guess is the main window getting smaller when a dialog opens. - [Creation dialog resize Defold main form. · Issue #7814 · defold/defold · GitHub](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/7814) If I’m right, the current best workaround is to not maximize the window using “maximize” but to resize it to your screen size manually. [Vampiloup posted it on the forum](https://forum.defold.com/t/defold-editor-main-window-auto-resize-when-opening-pop-up/75747/4) a while back and it’s worked great. Edit: Also if I’m right do you mind telling me what DE you’re using? ---

I don’t have issues on Ubuntu 22 that look like what I think you are showing. ---

From the reports I’ve seen its a QT issue. If you’re using the default Ubuntu DE it’s GNOME which does not have this issue. ---

You guessed it right, it’s the window getting smaller . Okay I will just resize it to fit my screen, thanks a lot. I’m using Gnome on Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS ![Screenshot from 2025-05-18 16-54-33](https://forum-defold-uploads.b-cdn.net/original/3X/7/6/768ad50f5bd8c0859510d8f10c6957f0c95ae3b2.png)
