This is mostly an irritating matter but it involves the main Legacy window
remembering the last window size when the program is re-opened. It may not
appear to most users who routinely view the Legacy program in a maximized
window but in my case, with a very large monitor, I use Legacy on the left
half of the screen while on the right half, I have a browser open with
multiple tabs to various online research sites. Thus my Legacy program is
almost always at a half-screen size. Only recently (in the past two weeks)
have I noticed that if I exit Legacy, and then later re-open it, Legacy
opens to a very small default window size (probably less than ¼ screen). I’m
not sure if that was something that happened only since the last update
because prior to that, I tended to have the same window open on the computer
24/7. Recent suggestions by Legacy support have indicated that could be a
bad practice because of automatic Windows updates that could happen late at
night.



I can’t find any option within Legacy to “remember last window size” (maybe
I’ve overlooked it) but I know that most Windows programs tend to always
reopen their window to the last used size. Legacy seems to be an exception
to this programmer’s rule of etiquette. Can anyone else confirm this
behavior or is it just some strange setting in my Legacy or Windows setup
that I need to discover and reset. Try re-sizing Legacy to half a screen
size, then exit the program. Re-open the program and see if it reopens to
the same exact half-size or something else.
