Preview Pane Size
Is there a way to save the Preview pane size? I use preview open on a second monitor and it seems that every time I open a new epub, the preview window shrinks. To check this, I opened and closed a series of epubs. On the first, I set the preview pane to 600x800. I saved the epub and closed Sigil. Then I opened a second epub. The preview pane pops open at 478x628. Close that epub/Sigil, open a third and the preview window is now 381x490. Close and open a fourth epub and the preview pane is 303x380. Open the fifth epub and the preview pane does not automatically open. Hitting F10 and it opens at 241x292. Open a sixth epub and the preview pane auto opens at 191x222.

At that point, I stopped opening new epubs. I did repeat the cycle using Open With from within calibre and the same behaviour where the preview pane shrank about 20% on each open.

Are others noticing this? Or am I alone in noticing this?

Hmmm... petty annoyances are us.

I can't say I have noticed that.

The preview pane seems to be the same size whenever I open Sigil on my computer - perhaps it's something to do with you using a second monitor for the preview.

I would bet that it is about setting dpi scaling (the problem appears when the value on one of the monitors is different than 100%).

Safe bet. Though I think the problem appears when the scaling (and/or the resolution) on the two monitors is different, period. Both can be scaled differently than 100% so long as they are both the same.

I've replicated it under those conditions in the past, but I don't have a single clue what to do about it. Thinking about it makes my head hurt worse than time-change math.

For what it's worth over a year later, after finding a similar issue with menus in calibre which was fixed when I set the compatibility mode High DPI override to System (Enhanced), I tried the same on Sigil and now the Preview pane does not resize when re-opened or moved between monitors with different scaling factors set in Windows.
