Description
Summary
Using a custom window size apparently puts the top of the emulator and therefore accessing his tools out of reach, only after being restarted after setting the custom display size. It's simply manually fixed by resizing each time the window, but it's a minor thing thats there anyway
Repro
- Open bizhawk
- Open config --> Display
- Put a custom size ( i used 1352x968 )
- Click Ok, then close and reopen the emulator
- The top of bizhawk window will always be out of reach on the top of the screen until manually resized

Research direction
Reproduce the issue through BizHawk's Config → Display flow using the reported 1352x968 size, then inspect the code that saves and restores the emulator window bounds on restart. Done means reopening the emulator keeps the window decorations and menubar fully visible without manual resizing.
