[Bug] window size and positioning (macOS)

What's the issue you encountered?

I have a 13" screen and every time I open a new window (from View > any tool) it gets opened somewhere at the edge of my screen with just a few pixels left to interact with. I assume there is a pre-defined position for each tool and that position exceeds my available screen size. (macOS automatically repositions so its barely visible).

Additionally, some windows are way bigger than my screen. I have to resize the window by its upper edge because the lower edge isnt visible. I have to resize twice! because apparently, the window is approx. twice the size of my total screen size.

How can the issue be reproduced?

  1. Create a new file
  2. Open "View > Data Information"
  3. This will open a new window to the left of the main window

Note: on subsequent calls, ImHex creates a tab instead of opening a new window. I guess you need to reset the settings to try as a "fresh" install.
