I noticed 1) before too, on Mac. I'm not sure if the same thing has happened to me on Windows; resizing windows is much much easier in Windows. The reason it was a huge problem on Mac was that, once the window is larger than your display, there's no way to get to the resize button on the lower right corner of the window. Another possibly related issue I've had is that sometimes scroll bars just don't appear on Mac. I usually have to close and reopen Pd and reload the window.

Hello all,
There are two minor issues in PD that I've ignored for a long time, but they do tend to become annoying after long editing sessions. (The fact that I'm complaining about such small things attests to how amazing PD is otherwise.)
- Windows do not hold their size. If I carefully set the size of a
patch window, it may or may not stay that way for a few edits, but eventually, it will "grow". I like to have the windows be just a little bigger than the biggest element in my patch (usually a large background canvas), but PD seems to sporadically resize the windows a bit bigger than that. I can't find a consistent behavior here, it just happens eventually.
- The opening position of property dialogs, when repeatedly accessed,
"wander" down the screen, until eventually, they are nearly off the bottom of the screen. I'm guessing the behavior is partly intentional, to enable tiling of multiply-opened windows, but it happens even when only one property window is open at a time.
I'm on PD-0.39.2-extended-test7, Mac Intel, if that's relevant.
