System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.22631-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.6.0 NVIDIA 546.33

Blender Version
Broken: version: 4.1.0 Alpha, branch: main, commit date: 2023-12-13 11:36, hash: f01bc93bcf2c
Worked: Not sure.

Short description of error
The Blender File View System area doesn't save the stretched size.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
File > Open
Pull down the bit with 8 dots at the bottom of system to show all the folders.
Close the window.
File open again.
The area has reset.
Shift + closing the window with the x doesn't help either.
I have lots of space on my monitor and can easily show all the folders but the space cant be expanded and saved as it just resets every time.
I have just taken a pic with a few extra folders as I don't want to show names here.

Hi, thanks for the report. Looks like only window size is stored and not the subpanel.
@Harley , can this be improved?

Yes, I was working on a PR that would save the positions and sizes of File Browser and Preferences. The spoiler was Mac, which had some odd behavior that I couldn't figure out since I don't compile for mac.

So I could try it again and resubmit, I would just need a (volunteer) dev to be a debugging helper for issues to do with Retina displays on Mac.
