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.
