I have calibre (6.3) on my laptop (previously windows 10, now windows 11 - problem is on both) and also read on my laptop.

When editing metadata in calibre, I usually work with split screen 50/50. So I can quickly edit information without changing tabs each time.
Recently Calibre has refused to size to 50% of my screen, it takes now about 2/3 of my screen. I can't resize it.
It is the only program that has this difficulty. It only goes away when I go to the settings on my computer (settings->display->advanced->display size) it default setting is 150%, if it put it on 100% the issue of the screen size of calibre stops. But this makes the layout of everything else so small it is not userfriendly, so it is not a solution.
I think that calibre somehow takes the with of half my screen and does x1,50 (from the 150%).

Can I do something to stop this or fix this somewhere?

(I'm not very technical so any advice you give will have to be written out step by step.)

Thank you in advance.
