Remember window position and size moves the window down

Is there an existing issue for this?

• This is a bug in RetroArch frontend
• I have searched the existing issues

Description

When you enable Remember Window Position and Size, the window will be moved a bit down every time you initialize the window, which happens on e.g. starting or closing content. In my case it's on macOS 15.3 with RetroArch 1.20.0.

You can simply test it by toggle the option Remember Window Position and Size (Video > Windowed Mode) on and off. You will see that the window moves a bit down every time you enable it. Until the window is a bit out of the screen. If you resize the height it moves again down. This means, that the position is related in the size. I think this should be just reimplemented.

In my case, I use RetroArch on the right side of my TV (left side is video streaming). Without that Remember Window Position and Size option, the core window is always wrong (too small). It would be great if this can be fixed.

Expected behavior

The option Remember Window Position and Size should not shift depending on size. The window is moved down every time the window is initialized.

Steps to reproduce the bug

You can test this for example open and close content or just switch the option on/off.

1. Go to Settings > Video > Windowed Mode
2. Enable/Disable Remember Window Position and Size
3. See that the window moves down on enable that option. If not, try to resize the height. Repeat 2.
