Remembered window size changes depending on scaling settings of the monitor Obsidian starts on

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Obsidian.
  2. Resize the window to the desired size and position on a second monitor.
  3. Close Obsidian.
  4. Reopen Obsidian.
  5. The application’s window will open on the second monitor and be a different size.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Expected result

The window size should remain as it was at the end of the previous session upon starting a new session.

Actual result

The window size changes (shrinks dramatically, in my case) in relation to the previous session’s window size upon starting a new session.

Additional information

If I position Obsidian onto my main monitor, it retains its size between sessions correctly. My main monitor (2560 x 1600) is scaled to 150% in Windows 11’s System > Display > Scale & Layout > Scale, while my secondary monitor (1920 x 1080) is scaled to 100%. The secondary monitor is the one that’s having trouble retaining proper Obsidian application window size between sessions.

Able to reproduce the described issue using a third monitor. Works as expected on main monitor and second monitor.
