Chrome window size creeping up

Support & Help Requests
1

Hi,

I arrange my windows such that Chrome is on the left and caja / terminal on the right. Chrome and caja/terminal are tiled up perfectly.

However, I've been noticing recently that the Chrome window size has been creeping up every time I close & open the browser. This is reproducible, I've closed / opened multiple times and every time the window size seems to grow by few pixels.

After 15 tries or so, Chrome overlaps clearly with caja / terminal side. Anyone seen something similar and know what the solution might be?

I'm using Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS for about a month or so, thank you.

Seems like Chrome is the only application I found so far; I tiled up caja and caja side by side but did not observe size creep.

I found a workaround. Because I can control how I launch chrome, including the window placement & size of the window, my workaround is to modify the launcher like so:

/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable %U --window-size=X,Y

This ensures that the window is always the same size and eliminates possibility of creeping up on restarts.
