I did a:
paul@cezanne:~/.config/kicad$ mv 6.99 2022-12-31_6.99
paul@cezanne:~/.config/kicad$ kicad-nightly
paul@cezanne:~/.config/kicad$ kicad-nightly
paul@cezanne:~/.config/kicad$ kicad-nightly
paul@cezanne:~/.config/kicad$ kicad-nightly
paul@cezanne:~/.config/kicad$ kicad-nightly
With the same results.
The window gets enlarged to a size where all the text is visible.
KiCad does remember both window location and size, but only if I make the window bigger. When I make it smaller, it’s always reset to a size where all the text is readable.
In KiCad V5 the Icons were horizontal, and I put the project manager on the top of my desktop. Now the icons are vertical,and I normally put it on the far right side of my monitor, so I can keep the icons accessible without loosing much desktop space. But this does not work anymore in 6.99
I did install the latest nigtly for testing this:
