[R] R GUI randomly resizes. Is this a known bug?
Setup: R-4.4.2patched-win.exe Windows 11 I always run the R GUI maximized. From time to time when I run a lengthy program the GUI will spontaneously shrink to about 2/3 of its size, with the fonts also shrunk, then jump back to full size. Back and forth, back and forth. I've been using R for many years and I've never experienced this behavior before this version of R. Have other people observed it? Is it a known bug? Is someone working on fixing it? I cannot provide a use-case because it happens in an entirely unpredictable way.

Back and forth, back and forth.It looks like the kind of resizing that happens when the system scaling factor is changed, or when the window is dragged between two monitors with different resolution scaling factors (e.g. 96 pixels per inch vs. 150 pixels per inch). I think that Rgui.exe currently does not perform any resolution scaling on its own; it seems to rely on the bitmap scaling provided by Windows for "non-DPI-aware" applications. How many monitors do you have and what are their resolutions? Are their connections reliable? It could also be something having updated in Windows 11 itself. -- Best regards, Ivan
