Yes this is what happens when you try to make Sigil too small. It will adjust to its preferred minimum size. Again there is a minimum here because the Find and Replace Window has a minimum width.

I just tried with Sigil 2.1.0 on macOS. Same thing.

To repeat. This is not a bug, it is instead expected behaviour. In fact depending on OS window tiling systems and third party window layout controllers (like Rectangle on macOS), there is no way for Sigil to guarantee it has the exact size and position it requests on startup.

So keep Sigil bigger than its minimum preferred size and it will stay right where you place it assuming your os window manager allows it. Make it too small and it will come back with a new slightly larger size.

Every Sigil since we moved to Qt6 seems to do the same thing.
