Bug Report: MacOS Client window resizes with each post
`Steps to Reproduce`

Make a new chat, make a post.
The whole window resizes hiding the input box offscreen.
Actually, you don't even need to make a new chat. It's doing it with old chats as well.

`Expected Result`

The window should not resize... ever.
I set it how I want it. I don't want anything else resizing without me specifically making the adjustments.

`Actual Result`

It's moving and resizing the whole client, hiding the input box

`Environment`

MacOS Sequoia 15.6, Macbook Pro M1 Max with external 4k monitor. ChatGPT Version 1.2025.217 (1754957881)

It's very annoying. I won't even call this a "workaround", but a tip is to hover over the green button in the upper left, wait a moment for the popup to appear and the choose e.g. fullscreen or right half from there. You'll have to repeat this very often. Hoping for a quick fix.

Yep, this is what I joined to report. Weird bug that makes the app not worth using.

Thanks for the work arounds.
I was using the double click method to make it go full screen and then back again. The issue is that you have to do it every time you send a new message. It's really annoying and ultimately unsustainable for my workflow.
Because of that, I've made it a web app using Safari by adding ChatGPT to the dock. It's not native, and it's quite a bit slower, but it takes care of most of the issues.

Happy to know I’m not the only one

The Mac App needs a good overhaul if you ask me. It is very buggy

Seems to be fixed in the new version

yeah i mean it's extremely buggy. One of the worst releases of an app I've ever seen to be honest. Just disappeared an entire chat when i sent my next question to it. Ok hitting refresh restored them, though they just disappear again.
