Description

Most appropriate sub-area of Processing 4?

Core/Environment/Rendering

Processing version

Processing 4.4.4

Operating system

Windows 11 version 24H2

Steps to reproduce this
  1. Execute size(500, 500) inside ``setup()`
  2. For Processing 4.4.4, size(500, 500) produces larger windows that 4.3 (in 4.3, a window of this size is about size(700, 700)).
snippet
void setup() {
  size(500, 500);
}

void draw() {
  
}
Additional context
  1. Since I am trying to update from 4.3 to 4.4.4, I have not tested whether any other releases between 4.3 and 4.4.4 are affected.
  2. All sketches created in Processing 4.3 are scaled in Processing 4.4.4 (see image below).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the supplied size(500, 500) sketch in Processing 4.4.4 on Windows 11 version 24H2, then compare its window dimensions with Processing 4.3 and intermediate releases. Done means identifying the release or environment change causing the scaling and confirming that the same sketch produces the expected window size.
