I recently got a larger monitor. I opened Sigil and set up my preferred new window size and configuration, and Sigil remembered this with newly created epubs going forward. All good.

But when I opened an old epub that I had opened in the past on the smaller monitor, the Sigil window configuration shrank, as if it remembered that this epub had been opened on a smaller monitor in the past. Is this possible?? After some experimenting, Sigil would sometimes remember the new configuration and sometimes unexpectedly shrink.

Hope I'm explaining this clearly. Any thoughts or suggestions?

On further experimentation, ignore the second paragraph. This has nothing to do with epubs previously opened on a smaller monitor.

It appears that when I open an epub that is not well formed and get the "This EPUB has HTML files that are not well formed ... Do you want to automatically fix the files?" pop-up, then the epub opens with a small window configuration (regardless of whether I answer with Yes or No).

I can change the window configuration to what I prefer, and it will "stick" for every well-formed epub that I open. But as soon as I open a not-well-formed epub, I get the small window configuration again.

I should also note that I have a dual-monitor setup.

Thoughts? Suggestions?
