Brave browser window size changes

Post by PogoOnMint »

I've recently noticed that brave starts with a smaller window each time I start it unless I last set it to full screen.
I'm guessing that there is a config file somewhere that has a funny value in it, but I haven't been able to find it.
Here is the result of running inxi:

Thanks CtrlAltDel. That fix worked. I've joined the Brave forum and will look for any news on the topic.
