It seems I have a problem with the newest release of TeXstudio 2.5.1
The PDF Viewer window is created much too large.
Even if it already exists and has been brought to adequate size, it resizes upon recompile
sometimes (may even depend on built project).
This is not influenced by Preferences>Preview>Scale Option or Scaling.

Machine latest update of Lion on Mac.

Have you tried resizing it and then immediately restart texstudio
afterwards?

That should set a new default size..

Just tried following cycle
- open TexStudio
- run (double arrow): the (too large) Viewer opens
- resize viewer
- quit
- start Texstudio
- restore session (if I only open the document same effect)
- run (double arrow)
- the (too large) Viewer opens (initial size not resized)
- resize again
- run (double arrow)
- the Viewer resizes to the too large size (independent of whether I use run from editor window or from viewer window

Hi Klaus. I'm an OSX user as well. What happens if you try to embed the viewer? On my system, it defaults to the size I specify (large or small) when I disengage the embedded viewer and restart TXS. Like you state, it does seem to forget the way I last had it at (but it goes to a smaller size).

After playing around more, it seems that TXS does two different things:
1. Open TXS
2. Open the viewer
3. Resize viewer
4. Close TXS
In that case, it memorizes the size and position of the viewer upon reopening. On the other hand, if I
1. Open TXS
2. Open the viewer
3. Embed the viewer
4. Close TXS
the next time I open TXS and the viewer, it defaults to some other size (in my case a smaller size).

The default pdf viewer size is set by hidden options in the texstudio.ini file, e.g.:

Geometries\PdfViewerLeft=70
Geometries\PdfViewerTop=75
Geometries\PdfViewerWidth=1000
Geometries\PdfViewerHeight=580

does it change the lines, if you resize the viewer and restart?
Or otherwise, does changing the ini changes the viewer of a newly started texstudio?

Perhaps there is something else in the viewer window that forces a larger size.
Tim suggested it might be that issue http://sourceforge.net/p/texstudio/discussion/907840/thread/33800b35
Or do you have some sub window activated in the viewer (e.g. search, fonts...)

The fix for https://sourceforge.net/p/texstudio/discussion/907840/thread/33800b35 (rev3494) fix the issue for me.

Kind of strange: First thing I tried was to do the embedding to see how it behaves.

• It expanded the previewer somewhat, but after a short pause, it snapped back.
  Established that I could not see a big problem with the embedded viewer, I went back
  to the non-embedded (internal) viewer. Since then I could not reproduce the problem.
  I will get back as soon as I can reproduce the problem.

Thanks for the tips..!

BTW: I also tried the thing with different path-lengths. (I.e., moving the directories around so I get smaller paths) In my case did not change a thing, but perhaps the paths were to small to start with. Also in the non-embedded mode only the name is shown over the viewer. The path is only shown over the editor, so I would not expect it to be the culprit..

Independent of the viewer mode, the name is shown in statusbar for approximately 2 seconds.

Is this fixed now?
