It always opens slightly smaller than the screen. The only posts I saw about this are 10 years old.
Does anyone experience this too and/or maybe know what causes it?
MacOS Sequoia/Tahoe, Bitwig Essentials 5/6, Macbook Pro M1.
Every time I start Bitwig I need to maximize the window again

It should always start the same way it was when you closed it.
As a test: If you load Bitwig without a project, hold option key and click the green circle in the top left corner to fill the screen, then immediately close Bitwig.
Does that fix it?

I have a fix:
1. Put BW into proper fullscreen mode.
2. Close BW
3. Open BW and exit fullscreen and set it to fill the entire screen.
4. Exit BW
From now on it loads properly here.
Edit no it doesn't, it works the next time and then goes back to not working after that, bit of a bug I guess.
It's annoying me now

Yea I've found some other alleged fixes on the internet but none work. I thought it's not a big deal but recently I opened BW quite a lot and it got super annoying, also it makes no sense.

The weird thing for me is that I have never noticed this before, I don't use BW that much but I thought I would have noticed it!
Is it a recent thing for you? I know it's effecting 5 and 6 here but they do seem to share settings and I'm wondering if 6 has messed 5 up.
Or maybe it's just that I never notice anything
Also I only upgraded to Sequoia a little while ago, maybe that is it and it worked before.

It was always like that for me since I started using Bitwig 5 earlier this year.

Do you also have an M1 Mac? Both svrc and I have one.BobDog wrote: Sat Apr 18, 2026 10:59 am Ha, I just tested it.
It is doing the same here on Sequoia, Mad. I never noticed before!
Btw I filed a support ticket too, I'm still within the time frame thing.
