You are right, my message was badly written.  What I said about reopening
is dead wrong, forget about it.  However, I meant to emphasize that this
resizing behavior does not happen with Preview: when I have a document
open and I change it, then Preview updates the displayed content but
keeps the window dimensions.  However, it goes to page 1.

What is really surprising is that it’s slow enough for me to see the
background of my display bw the closing of the original window, and the
apparition to the resized one.  That’s not what I usually see for changes
of window sizes.

Well, Preview does not seem to have this problem.  But I definitely agree
that the team of Preview might have access to features not open to public
developpers :(

I can get exactly the same behavior with Preview indeed.  But on the secondary
screen it does respect my window size.
