Zooming is a useful feature, but I am not comfortable with programs that
change the size of a window without my permission. I would like an
alternative to choose to fix window size, or let it float, with a
convenient toggle to restore my preferential window size.
Expanding windows beyond the physical screen size can cause some
problems for Windows users.
