Research direction

Reproduce the issue on Windows 11 by leaving Element idle, letting the screen sleep, and waking the computer. Start by tracing the desktop window-size handling used after wake and compare the restored dimensions with a normally sized window. Done means the Element window remains normally sized after sleep and wake.
