Hello,
I’m using KiCad in dual monitor system. OS is Windows 11. I’m struggling to make window size of dialog boxes. Every time when I open a dialog box (Footprint select, Symbol properties, DRC and so on…) it get a random size and random position. Sometime size is overflow the screen size and cant handle manually.
This problem came since version 6 as I remember. But, In version 8 Its very annoying.
If someone can help me on this, greatly appreciated.

That does sound very annoying! I can’t find any existing bug reports that exactly match your issue. Just to clarify, you’re seeing totally random sizes, not steadily increasing sizes?
If so, I’d encourage you to report it to the Gitlab. The easiest way to do so is to open KiCad, go to About Kicad and click Report a Bug. Your browser should open up to the report page with the template partially filled in with some version info.
For completeness, the closest issues that I could find quickly:
If one of these matches your experience, consider giving it a “thumbs up” on Gitlab to show support.
Are these two identical monitors? Or two monitors with different resolutions?
