The PM dialog to add screen-shot files to posts in the forum is stuck on maximize with no way to adjust the size

The "Upload" dialog (Interface) to add screen-shots is stuck on "Maximize" and the control buttons are missing to adjust the size EDIT: They aren't there 'normally').

PIC-2 how do I get the resizing buttons back to reduce screen-shot attachments.png
EDIT: I've noticed that the dialog to add attachments does not produce sizing buttons - so disregard my point about the buttons missing (they apparently aren't expected to be present - see more comments about this below).

I would like to get the "Add files" dialog back to what it used to do (this is what Vivaldi does in the Pale Moon forum - which is what I want to get back to):
PIC-3 how the attach screen-shot dialog should look and does in Vivaldi.png
Not maximized to fill out my entire screen (like it does now in Pale Moon).

Attempting to resize (smaller) via the cursor at the edge of the window does not change the size.

So it as if the dialog in Pale Moon is stuck now filling out my entire screen.

What I now get in Pale Moon

That fills out my entire laptop screen.

I notice that there aren't any sizing buttons in Vivaldi - so it appears that's the way it supposed to render.

I can't resize the dialog in Pale Moon now (placing the cursor at the edge where it would appear I should be able to adjust the size does not work).

A right-click - select "Restore" fixed the issue (I had cleared cache and cookies before doing this however - so not sure if this was a factor). My PWD failed to work as well - so I had to reset PWD too....

Thankfully now back to what the dialog should look like again.

..... why do these kinds of things have to happen???.... (it seems like "bad" things will inevitably happen in life.... by just doing things... :cry:)

For what it's worth, double clicking the titlebar of these save/open dialogs *should* normally toggle the maximized state like it would for a non-dialog window.
Such is life.

Pretty sure in Windows, Goanna uses Microsoft's Common Dialog API, which, as far as I'm aware, provides no control over the size or positioning of the file selection dialog. I could be completely wrong, though.

This is a Windows issue, not a Palemoon issue. Try DirectDolders by CodeSector. As a very happy customer, it is well worth the $25 list price, let alone the 50% off sales that happen a couple-three times a year.
