Description

When the completions popup is resized, this new size is passed to IStorageService.store. Therefore theoretically it could be persisted to localStorage or some other persistent store (as per https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71293521/monaco-saving-preferences-to-localstorage).

However when the docs popup is resized, Monaco does not appear to save the new size:

Research direction

Start by comparing the completions popup's resize handling with the docs popup in Monaco 0.31.1, focusing on where the IStorageService.store call is made. Verify whether the docs popup size is persisted to localStorage or another configured persistent store, and confirm that the saved size is restored after reopening the popup.
